Research interests
My research interests lie in the field of theoretical condensed matter physics. The research topics include topological phases of matter, spin-orbit interaction, and Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid phenomena in nanoscale systems. Examples of the physical realizations include quantum dots, nanotubes, nanowires, and topological insulators. My previous works as a graduate student involved strongly correlated electron systems, including high-temperature superconductors (cuprates) and heavy-fermion materials, with a focus on their topological properties.
In addition to theoretical works, I have experience on condensed matter experiments involving the following techniques: pulse laser deposition, solid state synthesis of oxides, SQUID, X ray diffraction, field rotation alignment method, laser cooling, diode laser, and waveguides.
