Research

My research area is in condensed matter theory. Interest in the coherent exciton spin dynamics under laser excitation has led to the current topics being pursued in spintronics and in quantum information and computation. The current and past research topics include: (html files under construction)

1. Optical control of electron spin and exciton in semiconductor nanodots for quantum information and computation  Optical html file
2. Spin dynamics in semiconductor heterostructures  Spintronics html file
3. Exciton correlation and nonlinear optical processes Exciton html file
4. Strongly correlated semiconductors  Correlated html file
5. Density functional theory  DFT html file
