Research and Practice Interests

Prof. Komijani is interested in strongly correlated electronic systems. His research lies at the interface between experiment and theory and uses a combination of analytical and numerical techniques to study various problems. His current research interests are

  • - Quantum criticality and chaos in strongly correlated electronic systems
  • - Superconductivity in heavy-fermions and Iron pnictides
  • - Multichannel Kondo anyons for topological quantum computation
