Current research interests:

1) Physics beyond the Standard Model at the LHC: model building, Higgs physics, small black holes, effective theories, flavor physics, grand unified theories.
2) Quantum gravity: thought experiments designed to unify quantum mechanics and General Relativity, minimal length, small black hole physics.
3) Quantum field theory: unitarity of the S-matrix, non-commutative gauge theories.
4) Cosmology and astrophysics as a probe of physics beyond the Standard Model: e.g. dark matter, dark energy, time varying constants, cosmic rays.
5) Information theory (information geometry)

Do not hesitate to contact me if you are interested in a research project in one of these directions.

Funding

My research is currently funded by STFC and by a COST action, black holes in a violent universe. I am a member of the management committee and of the core group as well as the working group leader for quantum black holes.

Some of my students are funded by STFC and SEPnet.
