Theoretical condensed matter physics. In particular, the effects of disorder and interactions in low-dimensional systems. Anderson localization and metal-insulator transitions. Dirac materials including graphene, topological insulators and superconductors. Non-equilibrium quantum dynamics. Applications of quantum field theory, renormalization group, and exact (symmetry-based) methods such as conformal field theory.
