1. Twisting and Gluing : On Topological Field Theories, Sigma Models and Vertex Algebras
Abstract : This thesis consists of two parts, which can be read separately. In the first part we study aspects of topological field theories. We show how to topologically twist three-dimensional N=2 supersymmetric Chern-Simons theory using a contact structure on the underlying manifold. READ MORE

2. Bending, Twisting and Turning : Protein Modeling and Visualization from a Gauge-Invariance Viewpoint
Abstract : Proteins in nature fold to one dominant native structure. Despite being a heavily studied field, predicting the native structure from the amino acid sequence and modeling the folding process can still be considered unsolved problems. In this thesis I present a new approach to this problem with methods borrowed from theoretical physics. READ MORE
