| Strongly Correlated Electron Models for Organic Superconductors |
| | Given a model Hamiltonian, which includes the interactions between the electrons, the challenge is to calculate the properties of its ground state and excited states and compare to the rich phase diagrams observed experimentally. |

| Quantum Phase Transitions in Random Systems |
| | Quantum phase transitions are important for understanding properties of many strongly correlated electronic materials. Due to the theoretical complexity of this problem, the focus is on studying the simplest possible model Hamiltonians which exhibit the relevant physics and not making approximations. |

| Mesoscopic Electronic Devices |
| | In the presence of disorder, large statistical fluctuations in the electrical resistance of mesoscopic electronic devices are observed. The associated theory has a rich mathematical structure and is being investigated with members of the UQ Centre for Mathematical Physics. |

| Electronic Transport in DNA |
| | Electrons can travel large distances along the double helix of DNA without losing the coherence of their wave function. Model Hamiltonians for this process, taking into account the base pair sequence and the interaction with the environment, are being investigated. |
