My research interests are connected with theoretical physics and
astrophysics; more precisely, I am interested in cosmology and general
relativity. My main subject of interest is theoretical cosmology,
especially the questions about early universe, models of inflation, and
some aspects of string cosmology. One of the major directions of my
recent research is cosmological models with extra dimensions, and their
observable consequences. In the past, I have worked on various problems
in black hole physics and general relativity, and theory of gravity
continues to attract my attention. Although my primary professional
interest is in theory, I would welcome an opportunity to work closer
with experimentalists and observers in the future.
My hobbies include outdoor sports, photography, computers and
electronics. I am an accomplished backpacker with many kilometers of
wilderness trails behind me, often solo. I also enjoy nature
photography. I developed and maintain a free software project
Scarse, which is a tool for color
calibration and management for Unix workstations. It received a fair
amount of interest from Linux community, with estimated installation
base of several thousand users (based on a number of downloads). I am
interested in electronics, particularly analog circuitry and audio
frequency amplification, and design and build electronic hardware for
fun.
