Title: Dynamics in Topological Insulators

Abstract: Topological insulators are materials that block conduction along their interior but support extraordinarily robust currents along their boundary. I will first review the bulk-edge correspondence, an index-like theorem that explains the stability of currents. I will then present a research project that aims to quantitatively describe these currents in the semiclassical regime.
