“Let go of who you think you’re supposed to be; embrace who you are.”

― Brené Brown

• The process of self-discovery, through learning, teaching, and researching.

• Free and open inquiry and expression

• Curiosity about nature and its complexity

• Diversity and inclusion where students, faculty, and staff with different backgrounds, perspectives, abilities, and experiences can learn, innovate, and work together in an environment of respect.

I am a Condensed Matter Physicist in emerging phenomena of quantum materials nano-devices. We study novel exotic quantum phenomena at oxide interfaces. By using nanofabrication techniques, we can integrate ultrathin oxide heterostructures in electronic devices to discover new functionalities and technology applications. My scientific activity lines include proximity effects, multiferroic tunnel junctions, metal-insulator transitions and electron correlations. I have studied a large variety of materials (superconducting, ferromagnetic, ferroelectrics, strong spin-orbit coupling ...) and working with many different experimental techniques (epitaxial growth, nano-fabrication, magnetotransport measurements, x-ray magnetic circular dichroism ...).
