Brief account of research interests:

My present research interests include condensed matter theory, quantum mechanical scattering, mesoscopic physics, the quantum Hall effect, disordered systems, localization, 1d quasi and aperiodic sequences, random matrices, electronic transport, strongly correlated systems, quantum dots, non-linear response, time dependent phenomena, Kondo effect, vortex pinning, and much much more....

Prior to 1989 they included also theoretical Nuclear Physics, Few body problems, Nucleons and pions, Heavy ion reactions, Parity and Time reversal violation in nuclear reactions. I also worked on some problems related to foundations of Physics.
