In early 2006, he joined the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Kansas as an assistant professor. Since 2008, he is professor of condensed matter theory at the Technische Universität Dresden. Current research activities concern transport through magnetic molecules, magnetism in transition-metal compounds, and diluted magnetic semiconductors.
