We conduct research at the interface of mathematics and theoretical physics, with a particular emphasis on the mathematical structures that arise in quantum field theory and string theory.
We also pioneered the introduction of machine learning tools in order to study the dynamics and moduli spaces of supersymmetric gauge theories realized in string theory.
Our research group also works on applied problems that appear in industry, where we use fundamental concepts from geometry, topology and machine learning to solve optimization and automation problems.
