Research Impact
My research focuses on emergent phenomena in quantum many-body systems, with emphasis on the interplay of interactions, disorder, and topology. I have developed theoretical frameworks for quantum glassy dynamics, localization, and fractionalized excitations in topological phases, and predicted new types of topological states of matter. Current work explores the interface of condensed matter theory and quantum information science, including the role of topological order in quantum error correction and the development of models that inform both fundamental physics and potential quantum technologies.
