Candelas, P Constantin, A Fortsch.Phys. volume 60 345-369 (09 Oct 2010) http://arxiv.org/abs/1010.1878v1 Research interests String Theory and the geometry and arithmetic of Calabi-Yau manifolds.
Mathematicians became interested in mirror symmetry around 1990 when physicists Philip Candelas, Xenia de la Ossa, Paul Green, and Linda Parkes showed that mirror symmetry could be used to solve problems in enumerative geometry that had resisted solution for decades or more.
Philip Candelas is an outstanding physicist and mathematician who is renowned for his work on string theory, black holes and other areas of theoretical physics. He focuses on the analysis of tiny structures that make up the world around us. This work is increasing our fundamental understanding of the whole Universe.
