Research Interests: 

Mathematical physics, theoretical physics, geometry. More specifically I work on string theory, in particular supergravity, supersymmetric gauge theories and the AdS/CFT correspondence. I'm also interested in geometric structures that arise in string theory, notably special holonomy manifolds, Sasaki-Einstein manifolds, and generalized geometry.

Prizes, Awards and Scholarships: 

Royal Society University Research Fellowship 2007-2015, EPSRC Postdoctoral Fellowship 2002-2004, Mayhew Prize 1999.
