The picture shows two Maori (indigenous people of New Zealand) people exchanging a Hongi as part of a traditional greeting. One presses one's nose to another persons and through this act you turn from a nanuhiri (visitor) to a tangata whenua (one of the people of the land). We hope that visitors to this website will become "people of the land" and help create a stimulating community for quantum gravity.

- Research Summary
I work primarily on causal set quantum gravity, attempting to find a physically well-motivated dynamical law from which a non-trivial continuum spacetime emerges.
With Johannes Brunnemann I have also performed the first generic analysis of the spectrum of the (Ashtekar-Lewandowski) volume operator in Loop Quantum Gravity.
A third interest is the design of modular frameworks for high performance computing.
Many of my results come large scale numerical computation, using the Cactus Framework.- Research Website
