Research Interests
My research is in theoretical condensed matter physics. The primary goal is to understand the fundamental nature of matter and its controllability. The interactions between particles make many-body problems extremely challenging, yet they also give rise to remarkable emergent phenomena. I tackle these problems by combining analytical tools and numerical methods, guided by fundamental principles such as symmetry, anomaly, entanglement, topology and geometry. The overall aim is to understand both the basic fundamental nature of phases of matter and their experimental tunability in conventional and novel platforms.
