I am interested in a broad variety of topics in physics and mathematics, both formally and phenomenologically motivated.

To date, some of the topics of my research include:

• non-perturbative effects in string compactifications
• compactifications of F-theory to four dimensions
• supersymmetric localization of d=2 gauge theories and geometric implications
• N=1 string-motivated quiver gauge theories and hidden valleys
• and implications of string consistency conditions for physics beyond the standard model.

This page may be out of date; for recent interests, see my papers.

I am currently a postdoc at KITP.
