My research
Broadly speaking, my research is in mathematical physics and concerns the application of rigorous mathematical techniques to problems motivated by physics. More specifically, I am interested in the characterisation and classification of certain supersymmetric structures in string and M-theory.
Some specific topics of interest include:
- Rigid (conformal) supersymmetry in curved space
- Classification of bosonic supersymmetric (conformal) supergravity backgrounds
- Superconformal field theories for branes in M-theory
- Quivers, dimer models and Calabi-Yau geometry
- Topological field theory, dualities and mirror symmetry
- Higher spin gauge theory
