Specializing in condensed matter theory. His current interest is in optical control of electron spins in semiconductor nanostructures, for quantum information processing and spintronics. His overall interest is in many-body theory in solids, especially the density functional theory, the electron-phonon effects and the many-body contribution to optical properties in semiconductors. The current and past research topics include: 1. Optical control of electron spin and exciton in semiconductor nanodots for quantum information and computation 2. Spin dynamics in semiconductor heterostructures Spintronics 3. Exciton correlation and nonlinear optical processes 4. Strongly correlated semiconductors 5. Density functional theory Acknowledgment of current funding by NSF DMR Theory and ITR Program and by ARO/NSA-LPS.
