I am interested in emergent phenomena in condensed matter physics, when the behavior of many-body systems cannot be reduced to a sum of its constituent parts. Common methods used in my work consist of the nonperturbative techniques of many-body theory and quantum field theory. My work has applications within the new field of the ultracold atomic gases as well as more conventional condensed matter physics.
