Research Interests

String theory, quantum gravity and field theory. My most recent work includes understanding toy models of cosmological singularities using string theory, and constructing α-vacua for black holes. I have also studied branes, vacua, and other aspects of string theory, matrix theory and matrix string theory for pp waves; noncommutative field theories; black holes in string theory; and type II string theories on Calabi-Yau manifolds in the presence of fluxes.
