Research
I am a condensed matter theorist working on quantum many-body physics. My research focuses on topological phases of matter, generalized symmetries, and macroscopic quantum systems, with connections to experiments. I am also broadly interested in non-equilibrium systems. Prior to joining Cornell, I worked in experimental condensed matter physics, studying two-dimensional semiconductors using ultrafast optical techniques.
