RESEARCH
Overview
My research focuses on understanding geometry and gravity in the context of string theory and extra dimensions.
Link to my recent publications on SPIRES or INSPIRE.
Outreach
I recently appeared on BBC newsnight with Jeremy Paxman to discuss a new proposal that black holes do not exist (arXiv:1406.1525). For a link to the program BBC listing click here.
