Professional Interests

My time is divided equally between teaching and research at IIT.

I usually teach the two semester Quantum Physics course sequence for junior and senior year students, along with an introductory and an advanced Computational Physics course

My research involves the theoretical study of the properties of high temperature superconductors, in particular tunnel junctions.
