Mathematical Physics

I completed my undergraduate degree in Mathematics and Physics at New York University in 1996, and my doctoral degree in Mathematics at Columbia University in 2001. My areas of interest include geometry, topology, and physics. My graduate work included investigations of Mirror Symmetry and D-Brane probes of Calabi-Yau threefolds and fourfolds, Quiver Gauge Theory, and the Ads/CFT correspondence on Toric del Pezzo surfaces.

A list of my academic publications can be found below:
