He has been the organizer or co-organizer of fifteen workshops and two summer schools of theoretical physics, is currently an Honorary Trustee and Honorary Member of the Aspen Center for Physics, and a member of the Board of Overseers, Sabanci University, Istanbul.

Research interests

His current research concerns the search for the organizing principles responsible for emergent behavior in materials where unexpectedly new classes of behavior emerge in response to the strong and competing interactions among their elementary constituents. Some recent research results on correlated electron materials are the development of a consistent phenomenological description of protected magnetic behavior in the pseudogap state of underdoped cuprate superconductors and the discovery of the protected emergence of itinerancy in the Kondo lattice in heavy electron materials and its description using a two-fluid model. He continues his interest in the superfluidity of neutron stars revealed by pulsar glitches and in elementary excitations in the helium liquids.
