The Dense Hydrogen-Rich Quantum Materials Lab (DHRQML) explores the frontier of quantum phenomena in hydrogen-rich systems under extreme and tunable conditions. Our research focuses on the synthesis, characterization, and understanding of dense hydrogen-bearing materials, with applications in energy storage and superconductivity.
Using thermo-baro-electro-synthesis techniques, we aim to create novel hydrogenated layered nanomaterials and investigate their physical properties through transport, Raman spectroscopy, and synchrotron-based X-ray measurements.
DHRQML provides hands-on research experiences for undergraduate students, fostering a collaborative environment that bridges fundamental condensed matter physics and materials science innovation.

Every material in the universe is subject to pressure, ranging from nearly zero in the vacuum of interstellar space, to 1 atm at sea level on Earth, and even to unimaginably extreme pressures of 40 million atm in the core of Jupiter or 10^29 atm in the core of a neutron star. As a fundamental thermodynamic variable, pressure governs the physical properties of condensed matter by altering interatomic distances and, consequently, controlling every aspect of the interaction of electromagnetic forces within a system. Therefore, studying the effects of pressure provides fundamental insights into the factors that influence material properties and can even guide us in designing and synthesizing advanced materials applicable under ambient conditions.
