Condensed Matter Theory Group
This group is engaged in research in various aspects of condensed matter physics, including studies involving strongly correlated electron systems, quantum frustrated magnetism, superconductivity, Mott insulators, numerical simulation of phase transitions in solids, in perovskitas Ferroelectrics, ab-initio electronic structure calculations, dielectrics and ferroelectrics, surface physics, interface efects, etc...

Biographical Sketch
Claudio Gazza earned a Technical Mechanic's degree at E.N.E.T Nº1 Bme. Mitre, Pergamino in 1981. After 4 years studying mechanical engineering, he started studying physics in 1986 and five years later he graduated as a Licenciate in Physics from Rosario National University (UNR) in 1991. By this time, he was already involved in the subject of strongly correlated electron systems and quantum magnetism in low dimension. He formally received his PhD in Physics from the UNR in 1995. He made a two years Post Doc at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory at Tallahassee, Florida until ending 1998, when he became a member of scientist research career in CONICET. He now holds an Independent research appointment at the Institute of Physics Rosario (CONICET) and a teaching position as Assistant Professor at UNR in the Basic Formation School.

He specializes in numerical algorithms applied to Condensed Matter. His research includes the study of several microscopical models like the Hubbard (prototype for strongly correlated electron systems) and his descendant t-J and Heisenberg models with corresponding extensions.
