Ph.D., Johns Hopkins University

Courses Taught

PHYS 220A - Advanced Electricity and Magnetism I
PHYS 222B - Quantum Mechanics II
PHYS 272 - General Relativity 
My research involves mainly quantum field theory, gravitation, and cosmology. Recent projects include:

1) stringy Born-Infeld electrodynamics - a way to measure the string coupling constant by means of light-deflection observations.
2) Evaporation of quantum-corrected Reissner Nordstrom black holes.
3) Non-singular black holes - black holes with regular cores supported by nonlinear EM fields.
4) Accelerated observers and non-thermal vacuum states.
5) loop quantum gravity cosmology.
