Research Interests
We use state-of-the-art scattering spectroscopy, in particular neutron and photon (Raman, X-ray) scattering, to study the structure and dynamics of materials with electron correlations and novel quasiparticle excitations. Topics of current interests include quantum magnets that might realize novel fractionalized excitations, mechanism of unconventional superconductivity, and conceptual development at the conjunction point of electron correlation and topological electronic states.
