Research:
My research is in String Theory, the most ambitious attempt yet at a comprehensive theory of the fundamental structure of the universe.In some (rather imprecise) sense, string theory replaces the particles that form the fundamental building blocks for conventional theories (the fields, or wave phenomena, we observe are obtained starting from particles when we apply the principles of quantum mechanics) with objects that are not point-like but extended in one dimension – strings.
At present, the theory is not precisely formulated, as we still seek the conceptual and technical tools needed.T
