Research Interests
When a collection of particles are allowed to interact with each other, they can exist in various phases depending on physical parameters like temperature and pressure. For example, a collection of H2O molecules can exist as vapor, liquid (water), or solid (ice) depending on what temperature they are at.
Similarly electrons in solids can exist in novel collective phases depending on their interaction with each other or with other degrees of freedom. My group studies such electronic phases of matter in what are called strongly interacting systems.
We have most recently been interested in studying Quantum Spin Liquids, Unconventional Superconductivity, Magnetism, Topological materials and states, Charge and Spin density waves, and in the discovery and crystal growth of novel quantum materials.
