Interests
My interests cover a broad range of subjects, pertaining in the field of theoretical and experimental condensed matter physics to: strongly-correlated electron systems, topological materials and phases of matter, effects of impurities. Exact methods and physics in 1+1 and 2+1 dimensions, statistical physics, thermodynamics and classical mechanics. I have also a personal interest and experience in electrical engineering (vacuum tube technology) and audio engineering. Alternatively I like to think about concepts of many-body physics in the context of social systems: Phase transitions, collective phenomena; how a macroscopic world unfolds from its microscopic constituents. What are its observables?
