Research centers on theoretical elementary particle physics. He has proposed and analyzed models of higher unification of elementary particles and forces. He has also proposed general experimental methods by which such models can be tested, including methods for the global analysis of precision data on the weak interactions. He is an author of the most widely used textbook of quantum field theory.
