Research Interests
Synthesizing, engineering, and characterizing novel 2D materials and heterostructures with exotic quantum phenomena driven by non-trivial topology and electron correlation.
Research Impact
We take an interdisciplinary approach by crafting novel materials and heterostructures, making them into functional devices, and performing in-operando studies on these devices with our multi-modal scanning probe microscopy. Our goal is to illuminate the microscopic intricacies underlying diverse quantum phenomena within these materials, and explore their potential application in nanotechnology and quantum information science.
