Satoshi Okamoto

Satoshi Okamoto is a condensed-matter theorist, working on strongly-correlated electron systems, such as unconventional superconductors, quantum magnets, and topological insulators. He uses a variety of theoretical techniques ranging from analytical ones, such as Hartree-Fock approximation, auxiliary-particle methods (slave boson, slave fermion and Schwinger boson), spin-wave expansion, bosonization, to numerical ones, such as density functional theory, dynamical mean field theory, and exact diagonalization methods. He is also working on transport phenomena, including fractional Chern insulators and spin-Hall effects.
