RESEARCH

I have studied theory of ultracold atoms and information thermodynamics. Ultracold atom systems offer an ideal artificial quantum matter where almost all parameters of the system can be controlled with high accuracy. This system is also of interest to me from the viewpoint of nonequilibrium statistical physics and feedback control of many-body systems.
