Research interests:

I am an experimentalist, working on the following topics, among others:

• quantum computing with Surface Acoustic Waves (SAWs)
• Moving single-electron quantum dots carried by Surface Acoustic Waves (SAWs)
• The Luttinger liquid and other interaction effects in 1D wires
• Spin-related interactions in single antidots
• transport through individual nanocrystals and molecules

In the past, I have also worked on, for example,

• mesoscopic effects in hole gases
• fractional quantum Hall effect, particularly edge states in the fractional quantum Hall regime
• 1D wires in undoped electron and hole gases
• the Aharonov-Bohm effect
• Coulomb Blockade and
• the quenching of the Hall effect
