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. -

BioI am a Physics PhD Candidate performing research in X-ray Astrophysics within KIPAC and the XOC group. My primary interests surround the evolutionary history of galaxy clusters traced by X-ray observations of the Intracluster Medium. I measure the dynamical, thermodynamical, and chemical properties of clusters as a function of spatial scale and redshift to test models of self-similar evolution and chemical enrichment in the presence of feedback from sources such as AGN.
