Current Research

  • My background in mesoscopic quantum condensed matter theory. I am currently interested in:
  • Theoretical studies on the effects of disorder and interactions in Dirac fermion systems such as graphene and topological insulators;
  • Exploring the effecs of impurities and electronic screening on experimentally measurable quantities such as transport and scanning probe experiments;
  • Application of graphene for new electronic devices.
