String theory, black hole physics and gauge theory. Recent
work has involved manifestations of the holographic principle
in string theory, the physics of Hawking radiation and noncommutative
gauge theories. Past work include noncritical string theory and
random surfaces, matrix models for nonperturbative strings, W-gravity,
large-N gauge theories, vortices and monopoles.
