Research interests:
Problems at the interface of strongly correlated systems and high-energy theory, studying critical and non-equilibrium behavior in various systems with help of ideas from field- and string theory, in particular:
- AdS/CFT correspondence and dual gravity description of strongly coupled field theories
- non-Fermi liquids and quantum-critical electrons, search for novel phases of matter
- confinement/deconfinement transition in many-body systems, in particular heavy-fermion materials and Quantum Hall systems
- description of thermalization and equilibration through thermo-field dynamics; critical behavior in thermalization
- vortices, solitons and topology in nonlinear optics and analogies with condensed-matter systems
