Experimental condensed matter physicist studying electronic structure and phase transitions
I am an experimental condensed matter physicist studying electronic phases in quantum materials. My research focuses on the electronic structure of low-dimensional and strongly correlated systems, with particular interest in symmetry breaking, charge order, and the microscopic origin of phase transitions.
Using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and related experimental techniques, I investigate these phenomena while also developing the instrumentation, data-acquisition frameworks, and analysis tools that enable precise, reproducible measurements.
More broadly, I aim to build open and reliable experimental workflows that can be shared across the community, and to use them to uncover new insights into the physics of quantum materials.
