My research concerns mathematical aspects of string theory, with special focus on Calabi-Yau compactifications and topological
string theory. In  this regard, I am especially interested in mirror symmetry and D-brane dynamics on geometrically nontrivial spaces.
Recently, I have focused on a certain approach to the subject known as Homological Mirror Symmetry, a broad-ranging research program
aimed at understanding mirror symmetry with the tools of algebraic geometry, homological algebra, category theory and algebraic homotopy theory. My broader research interests include string field theory, D-brane dynamics, string compactifications on manifolds of exceptional holonomy, supersymmetric field theory and topological field theory.
