Mi expertise is in Quantum Field Theory applied to the study of many-body systems, topological phases and quantum criticality in strongly-correlated condensed matter physics. The theoretical prediction of the quantum transport properties of novel materials, such as graphene, Weyl semimetals and topological insulators, as well as heterostructure such as quantum dots, are among my main research areas.
I have made contributions to the study of the Kondo effect in the non-equilibrium transport properties of quantum dots and single-molecule transistors. Non-equilibrium field theory, in particular the Keldysh formalism, as well as the finite temperature Matsubara formalism are developed for these purposes. He is also interested in hadronic physics in the presence of high magnetic fields and at finite temperatures.
