Bio/Research

I am interested in the fundamental physics of exotic quantum matter, topological or interacting electron systems (correlated matter) and quantum nature of emergent phenomena in these systems. Traditionally spectroscopic methods have been used to characterize electronic or spin behavior in quantum matter whereas initial discoveries originated from non-spectroscopic methods. My work focuses on the theme which I often like to call spectroscopy for discovering new states of quantum matter.

I am currently interested in quantum spin-textures & Berry phases of matter, Topological Insulator, topological Hall phases, Weyl phases, topological superconductors and quantum phase transitions leading to these new topological phases; Emergence of superconductivity in strongly correlated triangular lattice materials (correlated superconductors) and spin-liquid-like behavior in frustrated magnets in search of direct/unambiguous signatures of electron fractionalization or new fractional phases in higher dimensions.
