More specifically, I am interested in open problems in Black Holes, Cosmology, Quantum Gravity Phenomenology and String Phenomenology. The primary goal of my current research is to try to extract potential experimental or observational signatures from various approaches to Quantum Gravity. After taking into account experimental errors and other small effects, that quantum gravity effects may be measured in some of the low energy systems, cosmological observations. After all, any scientific theory should be able to make testable predictions. Some of my papers have been cited in NATURE JOURNAL: (Nature Phys. 8 (2012) 393-397 ) and in (Nature Phys. 9 (2013) 71-73) confirming that our theoretical predictions can be measured using quantum optics techniques and gravitational waves techniques which is considered as a milestone in the research of quantum gravity phenomenology. Besides, I am interested in approaches which may resolve singularities in general theory of relativity. My collaborators and I have constructed a model which introduces a resolution for big bang singularity in the framework of gravity's rainbow. This research has been highlighted in Nature.com(doi:10.1038/nmiddleeast.2013.211) and in Scientific American Magazine. I am interested too in black hole physics and information loss problem. I have written a paper in which I found that the black hole would have remnant if it is considered in the framework of gravity's rainbow. This work was highlighted in Nature. In addition to that, my research is focusing on investigating the implications of minimal length and generalized uncertainty principle on inflationary and reheating phase of the universe. Besides, I am quite interested in Wheeler DeWitt Equation and its implications in cosmology and early universe. I have also studied the compatibility between holographic principle and minimal length theories. Also, I am quite interested in investigating the production of black holes at LHC. Besides, I am interested in studying gravity as an emergent phenomenon from the first law of thermodynamics and emergence of cosmic space as an emergent phenomenon. :: PUBLICATIONS :: I have (22) published papers (7 more have been sent for publication).
