Houston, Texas Area
My research interests are in condensed matter physics and are focused in areas such as strongly correlated electronic systems, quantum Hall effect(s), nanoscale structures and semiconductor quantum dots. These areas play an essential role in our lives and are the backbone of current and future technologies. Especially the nanotechnology research is very important for future device applications and will allow us to create fundamentally new systems never foreseen before. For instance, there is the possibility to invent a new type of electronics, called “spintronics” that is not based on the manipulation of the electron’s charge, but its spin. This might lead to the manufacturing of a new type of computer, called a quantum computer. Physics is at the core of all these revolutionary developments. Thus, work in these areas offers an excellent opportunity for advances in research and technology.
