Welcome to my homepage. I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Institute for Theoretical Physics at the University of Cologne in Germany. I am currently a member of
 Prof. Thomas Nattermann's group.


Research Interest:

  My general field of interest is Condensed Matter and Statistical Physics.
  I am specifically interested in novel phenomena in electronic systems, their
  electromagnetic and transport behavior.


 I worked with Prof. Kieran Mullen (University of Oklahoma) and
 Prof. Herbert Fertig (Indiana University) on my PhD thesis.
 My thesis was about electronic systems in confined environments.

My current research is in two different areas:

     - Domain walls, defects and disorder in frustrated magnets. 

     - Dynamical magnetic polarization in quantum dots
       ( UT Dallas and NRC quantum theory group )


My current address:

    Institut für Theoretische Physik,
    Universität zu Köln,
    Zülpicher Str. 77, Köln 50937
