Research interests

My main research interest is String Theory, but I work on Mathematical Physics, Computational Physics, Theoretical Particle Physics and Cosmology. In more detail:

Theoretical Particle Physics and Cosmology

• Particle Physics from Heterotic String Theory and F-Theory
• Heterotic / F-Theory / Type II duality
• Gauged Linear Sigma Models and Worldsheet Theories
• String Cosmology (Inflation, Moduli Stabilization, Dark Matter)
• SUSY and SUSY breaking

Mathematics

• Algebraic and Toric Geometry
• Singularity Theory and limiting mixed Hodge structure
• Group Theory
• Conformal Field Theory
• Knot Theory

Computational Physics

• Machine learning (supervised, unsupervised, reinforced)
• Genetic algorithms
• Persistent homology
• Algorithms in Commutative Algebra, Groebner Bases, Resultants

Publications

• A list of my publications is available on inspire and Google Scholar.
• The material from the coding tutorials and exercises for my lecture series "Machine Learning and its Applications" can be found on my Github page.
• My Physics Report "Data science applications to string theory" is available here

Seminars

• Jointly with scientists from academia (Madison, Munich, Northeastern) and industry (Google, Facebook, Microsoft), I am organizing a seminar series on "Physics meets ML"
• I am organizing the String Theory Journal club at CERN
