I am Professor of Physics at the Rudolph Peierls Centre for Theoretical Physics and Fellow of St John's College at the University of Oxford.

I work mostly on applications of string theory to strongly interacting quantum field theories at finite temperature and density. This set of applications is known as "gauge-string duality". 

My operational webpage is here.
