Research interests

My research interests are in Mathematical Physics, Geometry and Theoretical Physics, specifically in the mathematical structures arising in String Theory.  These include Conformal Field Theories, Differential Geometry, Algebraic Geometry and the Arithmetic of Calabi-Yau Manifolds.
