Welcome! We are a newly established research group in theoretical and computational condensed matter physics. Our work focuses particularly on the interplay of interactions with entanglement and topology; features that play important roles in quantum materials such as quantum magnets and strongly correlated electron systems. Such systems call for a variety of tools, ranging from analytical theory to numerical many-body methods employing high-performance computing resources on campus and beyond.

Interested students and postdoc candidates are encouraged to reach out to the PI.
