Our research in experimental condensed matter physics is dedicated to exploring emergent quantum phenomena in complex materials and engineered heterostructures. Our work leverages state-of-the-art scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), and advanced nanofabrication techniques to create, probe, and manipulate quantum materials at the atomic and nanometer scales.

Our research is driven by fundamental questions surrounding quantum many-body interactions and emergence of exotic phases of matter. We are particularly interested in strongly correlated electron systems, topological systems, unconventional superconductors, and quantum magnets. By combining atomic-scale imaging with in-situ tunability, we aim to uncover the underlying mechanisms governing these emergent phenomena.

A major focus of our group is the synthesis and characterization of low-dimensional quantum materials, including 2D van der Waals systems and engineered heterostructures, on a variety of nontrivial substrates. Using MBE, we design and grow atomically thin and stochiometrically precise films, enabling the realization of tailored electronic and magnetic properties. These materials serve as ideal platforms for studying the interplay between topology, electron correlations, and symmetry-breaking effects.

Beyond fundamental discovery, our research has implications for future quantum technologies, from novel electronic devices to quantum sensing and quantum simulation.

Our lab thrives on curiosity, collaboration, creativity, and expertise, working at the frontier of quantum materials research to unravel the mysteries of complex quantum matter.
