Research Interests: Quantum gravity, which is the unification of Einstein's general theory of relativity with quantum theory. He also works on the foundations of quantum mechanics, cosmology, elementary particle physics, astrophysics and theoretical biology.

Ses sujets d'intérêt :

La "gravitation quantique" qui représente l'effort d'unification entre la Relativité Générale d'Einstein et la théorie quantique. Il s'intéresse également aux fondements de la mécanique quantique, à la cosmologie, à la théorie des particules élémentaires, à l'astrophysique et à la "biologie théorique".
