Associate Professor

Research Interests:

Quantum Many-Body Theory, Computation and Sensing

I am a quantum condensed matter theorist with a particular interest in topics arising at the intersection of quantum many-body theory, defect sensing and comptutation. My research interests include strongly correlated quantum phases, quantum sensing, topological order, spin glasses, many-body localization, synthetic quantum platforms for simulation and computation, quantum satisfiability and typical-case complexity. Most recently, I have been primarily focused on dynamics in quantum spin liquids and in disordered ensembles of solid state defects and using such defects to sense materials in a high pressure environment. I collaborate closely with the Yao Group at Harvard, especially on these last topics.
