My research field is mathematical physics. I am very interested in the dynamical properties of quantum mechanical systems (quantum dynamics). In the last years, I have been working on the derivation of effective evolution equations for interacting many body systems; see [1,2,3,4,5], as well as on the study of the behavior of the solutions of these macroscopic evolution equations.
Another subject I have been working on is the derivation of Lieb-Robinson bounds for the time evolution of anharmonic lattice systems; these bounds establish the locality of the dynamics; see [6].
I am also interested in the study of the spectral properties of random matrices; in particular, in the last years, I have been working to establish the universality of the local eigenvalue statistics for ensembles of Wigner matrices; see [7,8,9].
Another class of questions I have been trying to understand is related with scattering theory for models of non-relativistic matter coupled to quantized radiation fields; see [10].
