My research focuses on theoretical condensed matter physics, in
particular properties of novel materials and nanostructures where
the presence of strong interactions and disorder leads to a wide range of
macroscopic quantum effects.
Current and recent projects involve investigation of the electronic
properties of a d-wave superconducting quantum wire, study of the behavior
of correlated electrons in a high magnetic field and the magnetotransport
properties of graphite and bismuth, development of a
renormalization-group method for studying interacting electrons coupled to
bosonic excitations such as phonons and its application to
electron-phonon systems in one and two-dimensions, and to Bose-Fermi
mixtures in artificial lattices of cold atoms.
