The goal of my research is to work towards an understanding of the laws of nature at their most fundamental level. I would like to understand the physics that explains why we observe the particles and forces that we do, the physics that governed the very early universe and led to the cosmology we observe, and the physics of black holes and other situations that demand a quantum theory of gravity. To these ends, my research has focused on string theory, which I believe is the best candidate for a consistent description of quantum gravity and a unified understanding of all particles and forces in nature. I hope that my research will also lead to a better understanding of quantum field theories, which accurately describe the strong, weak, and electromagnetic forces of nature.

我的研究的目的是在最基本的水平上努力理解自然法则。我想了解的物理学解释了为什么我们观察到我们所做的颗粒和力量，统治早期宇宙并导致我们观察到的宇宙学的物理学以及黑洞的物理学以及其他需要量子重力理论的物理学。对于这些目的，我的研究集中在弦理论上，我认为这是对量子重力的一致描述以及对自然界所有粒子和力的统一理解的最佳候选者。我希望我的研究还可以更好地理解量子场理论，从而准确地描述了自然的强，弱和电磁力。
