He received his PhD from MIT in 2006. His research interests are centered on string theory and gravity. Recently, his work is focused on exploring solutions of double field theory and connections between these solutions and cosmology. He is also working on extending DBI from string field theory and applications of this action to various cosmological problems. Tachyon driving cosmology is also his recent concern.
