Research Interests

My research interests are in the physics of classical and quantum black holes, and quantum gravity.

• Classical black holes: hairy black hole solutions in models of gravity with various types of matter, such as scalar or Yang-Mills fields; existence and stability of such solutions
• Quantum field theory in curved space: behaviour of quantum fields on black hole backgrounds, particularly in the presence of a cosmological constant or rotation; defining the standard vacua; properties of these vacua.
• Brane black holes: production and decay of brane black holes at TeV scale colliders; Hawking radiation of such black holes.
