Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am interested in novel descriptions of how relativistic particles scattering, and how those insights can be applied to a variety of problems. Applications include precision QCD for the Large Hadron Collider; scattering in "toy models" such as N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory where an all orders solution seems feasible in the planar limit; the ultraviolet structure of quantum gravity; and problems in classical gravity such as gravitational radiation from compact binary inspiral.

BioI carry out theoretical and observational research in cosmology on topics including dark energy, dark matter, and inflation, using tools such as large-scale structure, gravitational lensing, and supernovae, with increasing focus on the application of machine learning to the analysis of cosmic surveys. Cosmology is akin to archaeology on the grand scale: as an archaeologist uses pottery shards to reconstruct an ancient civilization and how it evolved, cosmologists use both small- and large-scale data to reconstruct the origin and evolution of the universe and to probe fundamental physics.
