I am a theoretical physicist with interests in all sorts of things. My primary research subject is superstring theory, particularly its applications to black holes and to cosmology. In practice this involves a broad range of disciplines, including the general theory of relativity, quantum field theory, and particle physics. 

I was born on the Faroe Islands but I moved to Denmark as a child, and stayed there until finishng my undergraduate degree. I then completed a Ph. D. in physics from Princeton University, and I was post doc at the University of Pennsylvania and at the University of Chicago's Enrico Fermi Institute. I am currently assistant professor at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.

Here is a complete resume (including a hyperlinked list of publications).

John A. Shedd
 
 
 

"I hate reality, but it is still the only place where I can get a decent steak"

Woody Allen
