Research

My field of interest is part of the condensed matter theory with an emphasis on physical properties revealed due to electron-electron interactions (strongly correlated electrons) . I am focusing on the strongly correlated electrons confined in low dimensions.

I am interested in quasi-one-dimensional correlated electrons. Such systems are described as Luttinger liquids and they reveal peculiar physical properties and instabilities. Experimentally, Luttinger liquids can be found in several systems, eg. carbon nanotubes, conjugated polymers, and metallic nanowires deposited on semiconducting substrates.

Moreover, I am interested in correlated electrons on lattices with ladder structures. These structures are useful to understand the properties of several system such as the ladder compounds. Moreover, ladder systems are used to understand some of the physical properties of high Tc superconductors where ladder structures are considered as useful starting point to investigate their two dimensional structure.

Currently, I am also interested in quasi one dimensional electrons driven out of equilibrium using periodic pulses of high intensity electromagnetic fields, the so called Floquet engineering. This research field attracted lots of interest recently due to the possibility of controlling and manipulating these systems out of equilibrium.
