Research Interests & Publications:  

My research focuses on questions of ``quantum engineering'', a budding area of research which focusses on application of the quantum mechanics to nano-technology.  I am interested in the control and manipulation of quantum systems, enhanced precision and sensitivities that reflect quantum features, such as quantum entanglement, sensitivity of quantum systems to outside interventions and noise. I do theory, and use methods of mathematical physics, geometry, spectral theory, analysis, and animations.
