About Me

I am a professor of theoretical physics whose research is mostly on string compactifications, string phenomenology and applications to various problems in Beyond-the-Standard-Model physics. Full details of my research interests and academic publication record can be found on my personal webpage.

 I am also the author of Why String Theory? (CRC, 2015), Physics World Book of the Year 2016, and Origins (Oneworld, 2024), a verse account of the early universe.
