Research Interests:
My research program, broadly known as
String Phenomenology, aims at understanding the deep connection between
String Theory, Particle Physics, and Cosmology. In particular, I am
interested in constructing and studying models of particle physics and
cosmology from string theory in order to see what string theory might
tell us about physics in the high energy frontier and the early
universe. My work is supported in part by the US Department of Energy,
the National Science Foundation, and the Research Corporation.
