Research

Currently of great interest for me is the internal structure of string and M-theory and of supergravity as their field-theoretical effective formulation. One of the possible descriptions of such structure can be given by presenting classes of solutions and listing their properties, that inspires me to focus my research at classification and investigation of properties of solutions of maximal and half-maximal (gauged) supergravities in various dimensions and more generally of Double/Exceptional Field Theory as its duality-covariant formulation. 

These include such fascinating objects as black holes, black rings, exotic branes and many others, which appear in physics in various aspects, such as black objects’ thermodynamics, information paradox, searches of de Sitter string vacua, near-horizon geometry, worldvolume gauge theories etc. 

Among the tools I use in my research are the techniques of special geometry (special holonomy, Killing spinors etc.) and those of Double/Exceptional Field theory. The latter allow to address the problem in a more duality-covariant way, construct exotic objects and even catch some non-perturbative features.
