Research

Annamaria Sinkovics is a string theorist. Her current research interest is mathematical aspects of string theory and gauge theories. In recent years her research has concentrated around the area of topological string theory. She also have long standing interest in gauge theories, random matrices and partitions, integrability, and in general in non-perturbative aspects of string theory.
