Current Research and Scholarly InterestsHow do material properties change as a result of interactions among electrons, and what is the nature of the new phases that result? What novel physical phenomena and functionality (e.g., symmetry breaking or topological excitations) can be realized by combining materials and device elements to produce emergent behavior? How can we leverage nontraditional measurement techniques to gain new insight into quantum materials? These are some of the overarching questions we seek to address in our research.
We are interested in a variety of quantum systems, especially those composed of two-dimensional flakes and heterostructures. This class of materials has been shown to exhibit an incredible variability in their properties, with the further benefit that they are highly tunable through gating and applied fields. -

Postdoctoral Scholar, Physics
BioI am a Porat Postdoctoral Fellow at the Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology at Stanford University. My research is focused on high-energy astrophysics, where I analyze X-ray activity in space using observations taken by the Chandra X-ray Observatory. I study a variety of supermassive black hole environments in order to understand which factors are critical to their evolution. Most of my day is spent searching for dual AGN and studying their activity.
