Research

My main research interest has been cosmology, in particular the dynamics of topological defects.

I have been interested in understanding the cosmological consequences of topological defect evolution, in particular the role of domain wall networks as dark energy candidates.
I have also been interested in dark energy models where the variation of fundamental parameters of nature is considered.
