Expertise
Research Interests
Using semiclassical techniques to study dynamical consequences of Hamiltonian systems with non-trivial monodromy. Current research is theoretical framework of an optical apparatus that exhibits Hamiltonian monodromy. These methods give classical insights into quantum mechanics phenomenon.
