"The research areas that I like the best usually have something to do with geometry. General relativity is a favourite. Most of my work there is on black holes. My strongest prejudice is that the world has four dimensions; this is the direction in which I look for clues about quantum gravity."
She pioneered the approach to QG that Kirill Krasnov has been working on. She is on the board of the European QG funding agency that John Barrett chairs.

Some well-known female string and QG theorists include Lisa Randall, Eva Silverstein, Nima Arkani-Hamed, and Cumrun Vafa.
Female string and QG theorists have made significant contributions to the field, including pioneering research in string theory, quantum gravity, and cosmology. They have also helped to diversify and expand the perspectives in the field.
The representation of women in string and QG theory has improved over time, with more and more women entering and making significant contributions to the field. However, there is still a gender gap and efforts are being made to increase diversity and representation.
Female string and QG theorists face challenges such as gender bias, stereotypes, and lack of representation in leadership positions. They may also face difficulties in balancing work and family responsibilities.
To encourage more women to pursue careers in string and QG theory, we can promote and support diversity and inclusion in the field. This can include mentorship programs, equal opportunities for funding and career advancement, and raising awareness of the contributions of female theorists.
