Statement of Interest:


  I am interested in extending the techniques developed in topological
string theory to M-theory.  This involves studying both string and membrane theories on manifolds of G2 holonomies.  Another
approach, that I have also pursued with collaborators is studying
various topological field theories on G2 manifolds that may be 
related to the topological string field theories underlying the 
topological G2 string theory.

I am also working on understanding the origin of black hole 
microstates in terms of mutlicenter black hole solutions.
