Research Interests

At present I am mostly interested in String Field Theory. This is an offshell formulation of string theory that has proven useful so far to describe tachyon condensation on unstable D-brane systems. I am working on exact analytic classical solutions but in the near future I wish to study some more challenging topics such as quantum effects in string field theory and/or explore possible applications to more physical questions.

In the past I have been also interested in stable domain walls with fake-supersymmetry, non-commutative geometry and field theory and various aspects of anomalies.

2007 EURYI Award

On 27th of September 2007 I have received the 2007 European Young Investigator Award from EUROHORC's and ESF. The award is a five year grant that will help me create an independent string theory group at Institute of Physics at the Czech Academy of Sciences starting in Fall 2008. For a project description and more information see the official release. That said, there will be two postdoctoral positions starting in the Fall of 2008, and perhaps I can take one or two graduate students as well.
