  "The scientist does not study nature because it is useful; he studies it because he delights in it, and he delights in it because it is beautiful. If nature were not beautiful, it would not be worth knowing, and if nature were not worth knowing, life would not be worth living." ( Henri Poincaré)

Dr. Pope's research interests include:theoretical high-energy particle physics; unification of the fundamental interactions in nature; general relativity, quantum gravity, supergravity; superstring theories; conformal field theory; extended higher-spin theories; applications of differential geometry and topology in physics.
Personal Text: Christopher Pope received his BA degree at the University of Cambridge in 1975, MA in 1979, and his PhD at the University of Cambridge in 1980. He was a Research Fellow at St. John's College, Cambridge from 1979 to 1982. After postdoctoral positions at Imperial College London he moved to USC in 1987, and then to Texas A&M in 1988. He is a Distinguished Professor, the holder of the Stephen Hawking Chair in Fundamental Physics, and the Director of the George P. & Cynthia W. Mitchell Institute of Fundamental Physics. He is also an Honorary Professor at the University of Cambridge.
