Like most high-energy theorists, the overall objective of my program is to try to understand what kind of new physics replaces, at high energies, the hugely-successful Standard Model. I try and do so by using the clues which may be gleaned from string theory, which is the only known theory which reconciles gravity with quantum mechanics. String theory predicts that all of Nature is built from microscopic, one-dimensional strings, that can move along large, macroscopic surfaces (branes) within extra-dimensional space and time.

像大多数高能理论学家一样，我的项目的总体目标是试图理解在高能下，什么样的新物理学取代了非常成功的标准模型。我试着利用从弦理论中收集到的线索来做这件事，弦理论是唯一已知的将引力与量子力学相协调的理论。弦理论预测，自然界的一切都是由微观的、一维的弦构成的，这些弦可以在超维空间和时间内沿着大的、宏观的表面（膜）移动。
