Research on quantum materials, magnetic/topological systems, correlated crystals, thin films, and metal-organic interfaces, with a focus on how microscopic structure and interactions control functional material behavior.
Advanced neutron/synchrotron scattering, diffraction, PDF, diffuse scattering, inelastic scattering, STM/SP-STM, and surface characterization under low-temperature, high-pressure, UHV, and specialized sample environments.
Analysis of local disorder, lattice distortions, symmetry breaking, interfaces, magnetic order, and short-range correlations to understand performance-relevant material behavior.
Hands-on experience with crystal growth, inert-atmosphere synthesis, MBE thin-film growth, UHV systems, custom sample environments, cryogenic/high-pressure setups, and experimental integration.
Python-based scientific workflows, RMC/PDF modeling, DFT, phonon calculations, magnetic refinement, symmetry analysis, HPC, and reproducible experiment–simulation comparison.
