Research
Since April 2003, I am a member of the Particle Theory (TEP) group at UCLA.
My research is focuused on theoretical high energy physics and quantum gravity.
In particular I am working on string theory, a theory which replaces pointlike
elementary particles with one dimensional extended objects, so called strings.
String theory provides a consistent quantization of gravity and promises
to unify all interactions of nature. I have interests in Supersymmetry, Supergravity,Cosmology
and Conformal Field Theory. A very brief description of my research
can be found here.

theory:
