Research:

      In general, I am interested in  condensed matter theory,  nonlinear systems,  and
quantum mechanics. As of my PhD dissertaion, I have been focused on Bose-Einstein condensation, especially the behavior of Bose-Einstein condensate in a periodic optical lattice. I'm currently involved in the research on Bose-Einstein condensation, Berry phase, thin film growth, and molecular magnets.
