ROLE CONDENSED MATTER PHYSICIST
FOCUS QUANTUM MATERIALS & SPECTROSCOPY
01

I study how electrons behave in complex materials where quantum mechanics creates surprising collective phenomena.

My research combines synchrotron-based X-ray techniques with computational methods to probe the electronic structure of strongly correlated systems. I'm particularly interested in high-temperature superconductors, quantum magnets, and topological materials.
