Key Words: gravitational physics, quantum gravity, mathematical physics

Research Description: 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 particles in curved spacetimes, including chaotic motion and the bending of light. Currently, most of my work is motivated by quantum gravity and the development of a theory of quantum spacetime.
