Statement of Interest:


  My interests are broad, but focus on exploring quantum gravity and the
structure of field theories with the goal of bringing string theory into contact
with the real world. In particular, I am working to formulate a theory of
statistical mechanics that underlies gravitational thermodynamics. I want to
apply this to the resolution of spacetime singularities, such as those
associated to black holes and the Big Bang. I use related technology in string
theory to explore the smallness of the vacuum energy that drives the present
day inflation of the Universe. Another major thrust of my research is to
explain how the Standard Model of particle physics descends from a
fundamental theory. I seek to relate geometric aspects of the vacuum space
of field theories to string theory and use geometric structure as a practical
tool for particle phenomenology. Finally, I am interested in problems in
mathematical physics.
