Research Interests

My research covers two different areas of Theoretical High Energy Physics, namely gravity and gauge field theory. I am interested in gravitational aspects of String theory and its low-energy supergravity. This includes D-brane Physics and Gauge/Gravity dualities in String Theory, such as AdS/CFT correspondence, in addition to various gravitational solution and black hole solutions Supergravity theories. The second area of my research is Supersymmteric Gauge Theories. I am interested in Supersymmteric Gauge Theories and their effective description at low energies, especially theories with extended supersymmetry.
