Research Interests

I am a theoretical physicist, and most of my work is in gravitational physics. I have worked on several classical aspects of gravity, studying properties of solutions of Einstein's equations of General Relativity and the motion of bodies in curved spacetimes, including chaotic motion. Currently, most of my work is motivated by quantum gravity and the development of a theory of quantum spacetime.
