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 solutions and black hole solutions supergravity theories.

I am also interested in Supersymmteric Gauge Theories and their effective description at low energies, especially theories with extended supersymmetry.
