Field of Scientific Interest:

Theoretical physics, frustrated systems, low-dimensional systems, numerical calculations, deep learning

Main Achievements:

  • Proposed and studied an effective nonfrustrated model for the antiferromagnetic spin-1/2 ladder, providing analytical and numerical insight into its magnetic ground state.
  • Discovered and characterized the exotic ground state of the decorated honeycomb lattice and frustrated decorated Ising chain.
  • Revealed the influence of boundary structure of ferromagnetic clusters inside antiferromagnetic matrices on their magnetic properties in external fields.
  • Investigated the thermal conductivity of complex clathrate-type crystals and molecular solids, developing an exponential approximation for the coherence contribution.
  • Analyzed the ground state of one-dimensional generalized Wigner crystals and narrow-band conductors in disordered systems, identifying mechanisms of translational symmetry breaking.
  • Applied advanced numerical methods (Monte Carlo, DMRG, exact diagonalization) to model quantum and classical spin systems with frustration and long-range interactions.
