The group works on all aspects of fundamental physics - string theory; quantum field theory; applications to gravity, black holes, cosmology, particle physics, condensed matter and quantum information.
The string theory and holography group has a wide range of research interests spanning theoretical physics, ranging from the fundamental structure of string theory and quantum field theory through to black holes, quantum information and cosmology.
The holographic principle relates gravitational theories to quantum theories without gravity in one less dimension and the development of holography is a key part of the group’s research portfolio. Holography is key to the conceptual understanding of fundamental physics and is an important tool in addressing longstanding questions around the quantum physics of black holes and early university cosmology. Development of string theory and holography frequently requires the development of novel mathematics, particularly in areas related to geometry.

PhD applications are welcome every academic year in the fields of string theory and holography.
I work on fundamental physics, from black holes through to quantum information, developing new geometric and mathematical approaches.
