My research interests are of theoretical nature and spans a range of different phenomena from quantum optics, solid state physics and phase transitions in liquid crystals. I am also interested in developing applications of quantum optical phenomena. This results in a large modelling activity mainly on
Atomic magnetometry and its applications;
Quantum Optics;
Coherent Population Trapping in multilevel atomic systems, and in the possibility of using the related Stimulated Raman Adiabatic Passage to control the quantum state of cavity-QED systems;
the Freedericksz transition in both nematic and smectic liquid crystals;
thermoelectric efficiency of nanoscale devices;
bichromatic Floquet drive and dressing of a qubit.
During my PhD I worked on solid state physics topics like the electron-phonon interaction and the Jahn-Teller effect.
A detailed account of the work done is reported in the Publications section.
