My research has been mostly concerned with the electronic and collective properties of low-dimensional materials, which is a part of theoretical condensed matter physics. I have been working on the tunneling, transport, plasmonics and general many-body theory of graphene, silicene, fullerenes and TMDC’s. Specifically, I developed the WKB theory for a dice lattice, demonstrated the existence of Hofstadter butterfly in graphene with periodic modulation, as well as a thorough investigation of finite-temperature plasmon excitations in extrinsic Dirac materials, quantum-electron back action on hybridization of radiative and evanescent field modes. My research interests also include quantum optics, light-matter interaction, thermal and magnetic field effects in two-dimensional systems, and the physical realization of quantum computing. I am also a member of the doctoral Physics program in the Graduate Center, CUNY. In the Spring 2024 semester, I taught a doctoral-level PHYS 85200 course "Selected Topics in Advanced Physics: Physical Realization and Materials for Quantum Computing".
