Theory of quantum matter and correlated electrons at the nanoscale

I have broad interests in condensed matter physics that range from confined electrons at the nanoscale to frustrated magnetism in macroscopic samples. My research focuses primarily on interaction effects in quantum many-body systems. The theoretical methods I use range from numerics to powerful analytical, non-perturbative techniques. Often experiments are a strong motivation for the problems I work on, and I enjoy collaborations with my experimental colleagues.
