Research interests
I am interested in symmetry protected topological states of matter, especially in
-topological superconductors
-topological insulators
-Quasiparticle-Interference-Pattern and
-the effect of interactions on the surface states
(using Continuous-Time Quantum-Monte-Carlo simulations)
