We use optical and electron spectroscopies to study electronic properties of strongly correlated materials. Those include high temperature superconductors, novel conventional superconductors and heavy fermion systems. They are not only technologically relevant, but also display range of fascinating physical properties. Our goal is to understand how the electronic excitations give rise to these highly unusual properties.

We utilize the concepts and methods of non-equilibrium statistical physics and multiscale modeling to develop predictive models and simulation algorithms for a range of physical, chemical, and materials systems.
Focus areas and applications include: (i) growth and relaxation of epitaxial thin films and nanostructures; (ii) spatio-temporal behavior in catalytic surface reactions; (iii) transport and reaction in mesoporous systems; (iv) non-equilibrium phase transitions in reaction-diffusion systems.
