Research Area: 

High energy theory

Research Interest: 

My research has been focused on both particle physics and cosmology, in particular on the interrelation between them. I have studied models of gravity, that depart from standard General Relativity at very long distances, as a possible path towards the solution of the cosmological constant problem. I am also interested in braneworld scenarios and their holographic interpretation. These models can shed light on strongly coupled theories, that are difficult to describe in terms of their fundamental degrees of freedom.
