My
research interests are in theoretical condensed matter and statistical
physics. Most of my recent research deals with
the physics of strong
electron-electron interactions. These interactions have
spectacular effects in materials such as
transition metals
and their oxides, f-electron compounds and organic conductors. I am
interested in these effects from
the viewpoint of models
and basic mechanisms, as well as in combination with first-principle
electronic structure
methods.
I also
have an interest in the physics of electron correlations in
nanoelectronic devices (such as quantum dots),
as well as in cold atoms
in
optical lattices.
