Research Interests

• Interaction effects in topological insulators
• Electronic properties of correlated heterostructures
• Multi-orbital physics in transition-metal oxides
• High-energy excitations in strongly correlates Fermi systems
• Topological defects and fractionalization in frustrated systems and spin liquids
• Gauge-theoretical, projective and auxiliary-particle approaches to strongly correlated models

Theses

• Doctoral thesis:
  Physical properties of artificially structured strongly correlated electron systems, ETH Zürich (2009)
  A free electronic version can be found at the ETH e-collection.
  My doctoral thesis has also been published by the Südwestdeutscher Verlag für Hochschulschriften (March 30, 2010).
  You can buy it for example on amazon.com (for an absurd price, though).
• Diploma thesis:
  Slave-boson mean-field theory of the Mott transition in the two-band Hubbard, ETH Zürich (2005)
