  • Summary Statement of Research Interests

    I’m interested in differential geometry, string theory, and mathematical physics. My math research focuses on symplectic and noncommutative geometry, Floer theory, and Calabi-Yau categories, with an emphasis on applications to open-string mirror symmetry. My physics research focuses on superstring theory, M-theory, higher gauge theory, and supergravity.
