Over the years I have worked on a number of different problems in theoretical high energy physics and cosmology.

Cosmology :

Non-gaussianity from excited initial states; Experimental signatures of anisotropic inflation; Searching for slow-roll moduli inflation in massive type IIA supergravity with metric fluxes.

de Sitter :

Challenges of embedding de Sitter in string theory; Measurement theory in de Sitter space; Evolution of gravitationally unstable de Sitter compactifications.

QFT/String Theory :

Collective coordinates in string theory; Constraints from extended supersymmetry in the effective action of Yang-Mills theories; Non-commutative quantum field theory at finite temperature; Tunneling in theories with many fields.

Phenomenology :

Bounds on microscopic physics from P and T violation in atoms and molecules; Constraints on the baryogenesis scale from neutrino masses.
