My general interests are in the field of strongly correlated quantum many body systems. These are superconductors and superfluids, Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) of trapped ultracold atoms and molecules. Specific topics include: Quantum phase transitions; emerging irreversibility in many body systems; Josephson effect in superconductors and BEC; fractional vortices; solitons and solitary waves; Mott-insulator - superfluid transitions in atomic mixtures in optical lattices, supersolids, novel quantum phases. I also perform Monte Carlo simulations of strongly interacting bosonic systems (http://montecarlo.csi.cuny.edu/umass). This work is supported by the National Science Foundation  (grant  PHY-0426814) .
