Description of Research
A condensed matter theorist and biophycisist. Has worked in critical phenomena, magnetism, superconductivity, superfluidity, macroscopic quantum phenomena, localization theory. He has also worked in quantum chaos of single and many particle problems. Recently he has also been working on cell biology mitosis problems and synchronization in physiologically realistic neuronal models.
