My research in theoretical physics is focused on String Theory with main applications to particle physics phenomenology and early universe cosmology.


At the moment my students and I are studying the following subjects:


◆ String Swampland Program

◆ Topological gravity and Field theory of massive spin 2 particles

◆ Matter asymmetry in the early universe

◆ Supersymmetry phenomenology

◆ Machine Learning in Physics
