Theoretical high-energy physics, in particular string theory, quantum gravity and AdS/CFT. The ultimate goal of this research is to understand the behavior of gravity, including cosmology and black holes, in a mathematically well-defined setting.

Daniel Kabat received his B.S. in physics and mathematics from California Polytechnic State University in 1988 and his Ph.D. in physics from MIT in 1993. He held post-doctoral positions at Rutgers University, New York University and the Institute for Advanced Study. He joined the faculty at Columbia University in 1999 before moving to Lehman College in 2008.
