- Properties of superdense quark matter in strong magnetic fields (e.g., influence of a strong magnetic field in the color superconducting gap of high-dense QCD , application to neutron stars)
- Transport properties of neutrinos in superdense quark matter with large magnetic fields (e.g., neutrino emissivity and thermal conductivity in a magnetic background and the impact of these quantities on the long-term cooling process of the neutron star).
- Transport properties of nodal quasiparticles in relativistic two-dimensional models in a magnetic field (e.g., anisotropic thermal conductivity of QP's , applications to the physics of underdoped cuprates).

My field of specialization is high-energy theory, although my research interests have often crossed the formal lines of other areas. Over the years I have worked in the interface of particle physics and cosmology; in the phenomenon of superconductivity, whether it is manifested in particle physics or in condensed matter; in the effects of external fields at very large scales like the expanding universe or at very small scales like in condensed matter or in string theories; etc. Currently I am interested in the effects of magnetic fields in two different kinds of superconducting systems. One is the color superconductor, which is a state that appears in superdense and relatively cold quark matter. The conditions for the existence of a color superconductor are realizable in the cores of neutron stars, and hence this research is related to the interface of particle physics and astrophysics. The other is the high-Tc superconductivity of materials like the cuprate oxides that belong to the realm of planar condensed matter.
