Research Interests:

• Strongly correlated low-dimensional electrons (Luttinger liquids, CFT, etc.)
• Frustrated magnetism (itinerant magnets, spin ice, etc.)
• Quantum Hall effect and topological phases (fractionalization, topological defects, etc.)
• Nonequilibrium many-body quantum dynamics (noisy systems, optimal quantum control, etc.)
• Many-body entanglement (topological order, etc.)
