Research
My research field is mathematical physics.
In particular, I am interested in the mathematical analysis of many-body quantum systems. A central question in my research is the derivation of effective theories describing properties of quantum system in interesting limiting regimes including, for example, the Gross-Pitaevskii limit for Bose-Einstein condensates and the mean-field limit for bosonic and fermionic systems.
Another area I am interested in is random matrix theory. In particular, I have been working to obtain a mathematically rigorous understanding of the universality properties of eigenvalue statistics for ensembles of Wigner matrices.
