Research Areas

Quantum materials:

Our group develops techniques to synthesize novel materials and characterize their fundamental physical, magnetic, and electronic properties. The goal of this effort is to uncover emergent properties in many-body quantum systems — low-dimensional and frustrated magnets, correlated electron materials, superconductors, and materials with non-trivial topological properties. We use a variety of solid state chemistry techniques to synthesize both bulk and mesoscopic materials.

Quantum sensing:

We employ highly coherent and controllable spin qubits based on color centers in semiconductors — primarily nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond — as sensitive nanoscale sensors of both static and radio-frequency fields. Integrating these defects into a cryogenic microscope allows us to investigate the properties of the quantum materials we create with high sensitivity and resolution.
