Research Philosophy

We are generally fascinated by the types of phases of matter that emerge when large numbers of bosons or fermions interact strongly in solids. We employ a variety of methods in our research, including both analytical and numerical techniques to help elucidate the role played by quantum mechanics in these complex systems.

Some specific areas include:

• Theoretical studies of complex nanoscale materials
• Strongly-correlated systems and novel electronic compounds
• Quantum many-body phenomena in low-dimensional systems
• Large scale quantum Monte Carlo simulations of quantum matter
• The physics of Graphene, carbon nanotubes, and their derivatives
• Studies of emergent phenomena in complex quantum systems
