Research
Overview
My mathematical interests have varied over the years, ranging from string theory (in its early days) to integrable quantum field theory (especially Toda field theory), via gauge theories (monopoles and instantons). My current research concerns various aspects of Mathematical Physics, especially classical and quantum field theory and two-dimensional integrable quantum field theories with boundaries and defects.

Available PhD research projects
I am ready to supervise students interested in any aspect of classical and quantum integrable systems.
