  • Vortex Matter

    Our current research focuses on elucidating vortex dynamics in high temperature superconductors through high-speed magneto-optical imaging complemented with large-scale time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau simulations.
    Time dependent Ginzburg-Landau simulations of vortex cutting and reconnecting in a YBCO crystal.

  • Theme IV: Intertwined Order

    We investigate a variety of emergent phenomena that are associated with the simultaneous presence of competing or co-operating short-range ordering motifs in the spin, charge, and lattice degrees of freedom.

  • Topological Materials

    Our current research focuses on topological semi-metals and superconductors, as well as novel 2D layered materials that exhibit extreme magneto-resistance (XMR).

  • Quantum Mesoscopic Materials

    Our current research focuses on materials where quantum interference and quantum fluctuations directly control their thermodynamics and statistics.
