My primary research interests lie at the intersection of geometry and physics. In particular, I am interested in `stringy geometry'---investigating the appropriate geometric framework for describing string theory.

General relativity is described using differential geometry on Riemannian manifolds. Gauge theories are described using principal G-bundles. T-duality is a symmetry in string theory which maps identifies equivalent string theory solutions on geometrically and topologically distinct backgrounds. Some string backgrounds are `non-geometric', exhibiting non-commutative and even non-associative geometric behaviour. I am interested in studying various aspects of higher structures in geometry, and their relationship to string theory and quantum field theory.
