A recent highlight are topological lasers, theoretically proposed in Opt. Lett. 38, 1912 (2013) and realized in experimental collaboration in Nat. Commun. 9, 981 (2018), which are part of my studies of topological photonics since 2012. I also work on quantum dissipative systems and quantum noise (since 1993), quantum chaos (since 1994), mesoscopic conductors and superconductors (since 1999), Anderson localization (since 2000), dielectric resonators (since 2002), atoms in strong fields (since 2002), graphene (since 2007), PT-symmetric optics (since 2010), Majorana states (since 2012) and many-body localization (since 2015), where I frequently employ random-matrix theory, scattering approaches, and semiclassical methods.
Below you find a breakdown of fields of activity in terms of different categories; see publications for details and results.
