Research subjects
I pursue fundamental research in the field of theoretical condensed matter physics. I am interested in zero-temperature phase transitions, known as Quantum Critical Points, particularly in Heavy Fermions and High Critical Temperature Superconductors.
I became director of the IPhT on January 1, 2022.
The subjects I’m working on :
- Unconventional superconductivity
- High-temperature superconductors
- Emerging symmetries, electrical and thermal transport
- Study of superconductivity in single-layer, double-layer and triple-layer graphene.
Organized conferences
- ICAM Workshop “Exotic Supeconductivity”
