Background

I am a Royal Society University Fellow in the Physics and Astronomy Department at Canterbury University (Christchurch, New Zealand).

My research concerns the interplay between gravity and particle theory in the very early universe. More precisely, I study the cosmological implications of quantum field theories, general relativity, and M/superstring theories.
