Statement of Interest:



I am a student of Savdeep Sethi, and I am primarily interested in
spacetime and worldsheet aspects of flux compactifications and
supersymmetric field theories. 

In my work with Savdeep Sethi we have constructed a new class of type
IIB solutions. These solutions have some novel properties, being the
first known compact SU(2)-structure solutions, which are well-defined
non-geometrically. Further, we have constructed a duality which
realizes them as a generalization of `F-theory' type solutions. This
work will be published in early May.

I also have an interest in constructing a worldsheet description of RR
vacua using the Hybrid formalism. In particular, I am trying to
construct a worldsheet description of the aforementioned type IIB
vacua. 

I have also worked on aspects of supersymmetric field theories, in
particular N=4 SYM.
