Correlations, topology, and computation in quantum materials
My research explores how electron interactions, crystal geometry, and topology give rise to new properties of quantum materials. I combine first-principles electronic structure calculations with many-body theory and machine learning, working closely with experimental collaborators to connect microscopic models with measurable phenomena.
The four directions below connect the development of computational methods with questions about kagome metals, topological materials, and unconventional superconductivity. Recent highlights include electronic nematicity and spin-orbital responses in kagome systems, the limits of topological edge-state protection, and neural-network representations of electronic interactions and density functionals.
For a broad introduction to one of these themes, see our review Kagome metals, Reviews of Modern Physics 98, 015002 (2026). A complete list of articles is available on the publications page.
