Superstring Theory

String theory is a broad and varied field with strong connections to quantum gravity, particle physics and cosmology, as well as mathematics. Our research group has been working on a wide range of topics in all three connections. Some of the main research topics are: string cosmology, the landscape, gauge theory amplitudes, gauge/gravity duality, black rings, and strings at singularities.
