My current research spans the fields of strongly-correlated electron systems and ultracold atomic gases. Firstly, I have been concerned with the classical magnetotransport of disordered semiconductors and I have developed a random resistor network model in order to tackle the problem of strong disorder, where perturbative approaches are not appropriate. Much of this work is motivated by the experimental observation of anomalous magnetoresistances in many non-magnetic, inhomogeneous compounds. In my second line of research, I have been investigating novel phases of matter in trapped, ultracold, atomic Fermi gases. In particular, I am interested in the BCS-BEC crossover that is achieved by varying interactions between fermions using a magnetically-tunable Feshbach resonance.
