Teaching areas
Since joining AUS, I have taught the following physics courses: Preparatory Physics - PHY001;Conceptual Physics - PHY100; General Physics I- PHY101;General Physics II - PHY102;Physics for architects - PHY 104; Environmental physics - PHY 105; General Physics I- PHY101 Laboratory; General Physics II- PHY102 Laboratory; Modern Physics - PHY 201; PHY 394 Fundamentals of Nanophysics.
Research areas
My research is at the interface between theoretical condensed matter physics and quantum field and gauge theories. The language of these two disciplines helps me"To see a world in a grain of sand And a heaven in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand And eternity in an hour." I use powerful tools from relativistic quantum field theory to solve some strongly correlated condensed matter problems such as the fractional quantum Hall effect and Josephson junction arrays.
