Statement of Interest:


My main research interests are quantum field theories and string theory.\\ In particular I am currently studying models of modified gravity such as the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati model\\ and its higher codimension generalizations.\\ Their implications range from providing a covariant model of massive gravity\\ to offering an alternative way towards the solution of the cosmological constant problem.\\ I am also intersted in the related problem of realizing these models in a fundamental theory such as string theory.\\ I am iterested in string theory both as a fundamental theory of all interactions (and the related string phenomenology and string cosmology)\\ and also as a dual (equivalent) description of field theories (holographic descriptions of QCD-like theories).
