The main interest of the group is the interplay between quantum interference and electron-electron interactions in nanostructures. We consider a wide range of electronic nanostructures: quantum dots, metalic nanoparticles, and carbon nanotubes, for instance. A variety of analtyic and computational techniques are used: random matrix theory, semiclassical methods, density functional theory, and quantum Monte Carlo simulation.- Strongly Interacting Electrons - D.
