Research Interest

One of my main interests centers on the physics of strongly coupled systems, which is one of today's most active research areas in condensed matter. These systems happened to be strongly correlated since no obvious small coupling constant exists, and consequently exhibit high sensitivity to small parameter changes. My interest is fueled by the new states of matter such systems can display and the exceptional material properties these phases sometimes exhibit.
