Research Interests
I started my research career as an experimentalist in solid state physics, but gradually shifted to theoretical computations and patters in chaos. Does chaos really exist, even in seemingly random motions of quantum particles in solid state materials is it perhaps in reality all organized order which seems like chaos to infinitesimal manifestations such as human beings?
