We theoretically study the properties of topological systems and explore new types of topological phases (like the ones shown in the figures). These include topological insulators and superconductors, but also gapless systems such as Weyl semimetals. Part of our focus is on determining the stability of topological phases to perturbations such as disorder, as well as studying their dynamical properties.
