Research Interests

Dilute ultracold quantum gases have been of intense interest for the past decade.  Bosonic gases condense to become superfluids, analogous to superfluid helium, but considerably simpler and therefore amenable to theoretical analysis.  Fermionic gases become superfluids through a pairing mechanism analogous to conventional metallic superconductors.  Both of these systems serve as laboratories for the study of quantum superfluids under various extreme or unusual conditions such as fast rotation or confinement in optical lattices.  Current problem

How can we use quantum field theory and string theory to understand key questions in high energy theory, cosmology, and condensed matter physics?  Do the hints of deep mathematical structures underlying string theory contain new lessons for fundamental physics?
