I'm a condensed matter theorist. The focus of my research is MESOSCOPIC PHYSICS. In particular, I'm interested in the proximity effect in superconductor hybrid systems, in topological phases, as well as in the role of interactions and disorder in low-dimensional systems.

Some recent results:

• Quantum mechanics of poisoned superconducting junctions (French - English)
• Unusual superconducting properties of novel two-dimensional materials (French - English)
• Multiterminal Josephson junctions as topological matter (French - English)

• M. Houzet, JSM, and P. Simon,
  Le spectre de Majorana (Des quasi-particules exotiques découvertes dans des nanostructures supraconductrices pourraient servir à construire un ordinateur quantique),
  Reflets de la Physique 61, 4 (2019).
