Research
In general, my research interests are statistical physics in two dimensions and phase transitions. More precisely, I'm interested in spin and loop models on finite lattices, which can be solved analytically, and whose spectrum can be studied through irreducible representations of the Temperley-Lieb or the Virasoro algebras.
