Research areas

My field of research is Theoretical Physics; I apply quantum field theory to nanotechnology, atomic and condensed-matter physics.

I am particularly interested in quantum electrodynamics near macroscopic boundaries that are reflecting, refracting, or absorbing. I investigate quantum effects like the Casmir-Polder force, the anomalous magnetic moment as affected by such boundaries, and dynamical effects like quantum friction and quantum radiation from moving boundaries.
