  • Summary Statement of Research Interests

    Professor Warner’s research areas string theory and field theory and their applications ranging from fundamental interactions in particle physics through to critical phenomena. He is currently working on the quantum structure of black holes and black hole singularities. He is using string theory to resolve some of the apparently paradoxical behavior of black holes in quantum physics.
