Research
Interests
My research interests are in string theory and its applications in physics and mathematics. Particular past areas of interest have been the geometry of branes in M theory, topological field theories, and manifolds of exceptional holonomy. More recently I have worked on applications related to twistor theory, on celestial amplitudes and on new results involving the double copy.Publications
