Research
My research focuses on modified theories of gravity, scalar-tensor theories with screening mechanisms such as the chameleon and symmetron models in particular. I am very interested in astophysical tests of modified gravity and especially the structure and evolution of stars and their properties in modified gravity theories. I also spend part of my time working towards UV completions of these theories in supersymmetry and supergravity.
