My research has explored the interplay between the non-trivial topology of electron wavefunctions and strong electron-electron interactions.

My work has focused on twisted bilayer graphene, a key platform for topology and strong interactions, as well as proposing other platforms for realizing strongly correlated phenomena, such as patterned and twisted two-dimensional heterostructures.

I plan to continue studying strong electron correlations and branch out into other areas of condensed matter physics, including quantum dynamics and quantum information, where recent experimental advances have been significant.
