About Me

Hello! I am a recent physics PhD at UC Berkeley. I’m interested in quantum materials and how we can grow them cleaner.

Here is my Resume and CV. My publications can be found here

My doctoral work Link to heading

One of the most challenging aspect of condensed matter is the unambiguous detection of novel phases of matter, where the experimental observables are often shrouded by artifacts from disorder: impurities, vacancies, phase separation, and other inescapable ‘dirt’. My doctoral research focused on materials discovery, synthesis and measurements of magnetic materials, particularly towards realizing magnetic topological insulators and Kagome flat-band superconductivity,. Whether it was extensive synthesis and measurement on bulk crystals across diverse material families or crystallographic computations on the Materials Project, I aimed to address the difficult problem of materials discovery with the aim of engineering and realizing quantum phenomena.
