Welcome to my page.  I'm a postdoc at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics at UC Santa Barbara.  I work on string theory.

Research interests: Currently I'm excited about the new connection between knot theory and string theory that I found with Jaume Gomis.  This connection arises by studying Wilson loops in Chern-Simons theory and their string theory duals.  I also spend time thinking about Wilson loops in the AdS/CFT context.
