Research
I am theoretical physicist with research interests ranging from materials design to far-from equilibrium dynamics and holographic dualities in condensed matter physics. My current research is focused on three problems: optimization of materials properties, like superconductivity, by different tools including nano-engineering design, the identification and description of novel phases of out of equilibrium quantum matter and the description of strongly coupled systems by holographic dualities. This research involves several interdisciplinary collaborations with experts in high energy, cold atom physics, materials and nano science.
In Plain English
My research aims to set the theoretical basis for the engineering of enhanced and novel forms of superconductivity by nano-scale control and out of equilibrium effects. This is an important step toward the establishment of the new field of research of on-demand superconductivity whereenhanced experimental control leads to nano-design of materials with high tunable properties.
