String theory is currently the leading candidate for a theory of quantum gravity. It promises to unify the fundamental forces of particle physics - which are governed by the rules of quantum mechanics - with the force of gravity, as described by Einstein's general theory of relativity. String theory has the potential to shed light on many basic conceptual questions concerning the fundamental physics of space and time. My research program investigates applications of string theory to two of the most exciting and important such questions.

弦理论是目前量子引力理论的主要候选者。 它有望统一粒子物理学的基本力--由量子力学规则支配--与爱因斯坦广义相对论所描述的引力。 弦理论有潜力阐明许多关于空间和时间的基本物理学的基本概念问题。我的研究计划调查应用弦理论的两个最令人兴奋和重要的问题。
