Professor Harms has most recently worked on the quantum description of microscopic black holes and their relation to extended objects such as strings and membranes.
Other recent projects include the calculation of black hole and naked singularity decay rates in large extra dimensions, black hole decay rates in noncommutative spacetimes, and dark energy as a manifestation of the Casimir energy of noncommuting, compact extra dimensions, noncommutative corrections to general relativity, and investigations of the possibility of catastrophic black hole growth at the Large Hadron Collider.
