Hello,
I am a PhD physicist with a broad range of interests including politics and history, but my main area of knowledge is solid state physics. In particular, I have studied phonon's and nanostructures in detail. In particular, i have studied carbon nanotubes and silicon nanostructures in detail.
My publications are:

I have no religious beliefs, and respect and admire those who do. I am not a member of any political groups either.
I also have several hobbies, and details of some of which can be reached through the following link

It is also possible to ask me questions at the above link as well.
