Interests
My current research interests are centred around modern methods for the computation of scattering amplitudes with the twofold goal of exhibiting novel symmetries and mathematical structures, and exploiting these insights to develop vastly more efficient tools to compute amplitudes needed to understand particle collisions and gravitational wave physics. The theories of interest include N=4 supersymmetric gauge theory, quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and gravity. Recently, I have employed these powerful techniques to extract results in general relativity relevant to the dynamics of binary blackhole systems and gravitational radiation.Publications
