My current fields of research are
Quantum many-body theory
Quantum field theory and quantum phase transitions
Strong electron correlations
Spintronics
Topological quantum materials and artificial graphene.
My previous topics of research are related to fundamental physics. This includes:
The structure/effects of the weak interaction and parity violation in atoms and nuclei
Violation of fundamental time reversal symmetry and barionic asymmetry of the Universe (dominance of matter over antimatter)
Searches of light dark matter.
I still maintain some activity in those fields.
