Current research fields
1. Theory and simulations of nanomechanical friction -- including electronic and magnetic dissipation.

2. Metallic nanocontacts: structural, mechanical and electronic properties, ballistic electrical conductance, Kondo effects of bridging magnetic impurities.

3. Mott insulators and conductors obtained by doping fullerene and other molecular insulators with alkali atoms. Superconductivity arising in these systems.

4.Strong correlations and phase transitions at semiconductors surfaces with narrow two-dimensional electronic bands.

5. Matter at megabar pressures.
