Most of Thomas Banks’s recent research has been devoted to his ideas of connecting the scale of supersymmetry breaking to the cosmological constant. He will also study finite dimensional noncommutative geometries in the context of the holographic theory of space-time and may also return to the study of Regge behavior in conformal field theory.
