Now he is a Trull Centennial Professor of Physics at the University of Texas at Austin, and an Adjunct Chair Professor at the International Center for Quantum Materials in Peking University. He has worked on the theories on quantum Hall effects, quasicrystals, ultracold atoms, spin transport, and graphene materials, with an emphasis on topological and geometric phase effects in quantum transport. He has published more than 220 peer reviewed papers, including 72 in Physical Review Letters, and has over 12000 citations (with an H index of 61).
