Interest in the coherent exciton spin dynamics under laser excitation has led to the current topics being pursued in spintronics and
in quantum information and computation. The current and past research topics include: optical control of excitons in semiconductor
nanostructures for quantum information, spin dynamics in semiconductor heterostructures, exciton correlation and nonlinear optical
processes, strongly correlated semiconductors, and density functional theory.
