Research interests: My research focuses on the interplay between gravitational physics and quantum theory. I have a long-established research on the theory of quantized fields and gravity. I have been involved in several aspects of gravitational particle creation: from the physics of the very early universe to black hole evaporation.  I am co-author (with Dr. A. Fabbri) of the book "Modeling Black Hole Evaporation", ICP-World Scientific, London (2005).
