Research Interests

I am a lecturer in the Fields, Strings, and Geometry Group (formerly known as Mathematical Physics Group). My research ranges from formal areas in mathematics to applied areas in theoretical physics such as:

• Twistor geometry and applications to differential geometry
• Integrability in string and gauge theories and hidden symmetries
• String theory/gauge theory dualities including gravity/fluid dualities
• Membranes in string and M-theory
• Supergravity
• Solitons and instantons
