NEW Paper: Higher-Dimensional Fermiology in Bulk MoirÉ Metals

My teammates and I have a new paper in Nature! We discovered tunable bulk crystal analogues of 2D moiré materials, which can be synthesized using the tools of solid-state chemistry. We then used these new "moiré crystal" lattices to coerce electrons into simulating the electronic and magnetic properties of a 4-dimensional metal. I'm excited to share our team's findings through this Nature paper, our open-access arXiv posting, and through this talk!

Welcome!

Hi there! I'm a Pappalardo Postdoctoral Fellow in Physics, working with Prof. Joe Checkelsky and his group at MIT. I received my PhD in physics from Princeton University in 2023, working with Prof. Ali Yazdani and his group. I also received BAs in physics and applied mathematics from UC Berkeley in 2017.

Research Interests

I'm an experimental condensed matter physicist studying the electronic, magnetic, and thermodynamic properties of quantum materials.

My long-term goal is to understand the emergent quantum laws of strongly interacting electron systems, with a particular focus on how they produce exotic superconducting states and correlation-driven topological phases in materials.

2024 Pappalardo Fellowship Symposium

I was recently invited to give a public-lecture-style talk at this year's Pappalardo Fellowship Symposium. It was a great chance for me to speak very broadly about the goals and challenges of superconductivity research, and about how my teammates and I are working to answer some open questions in the field at MIT.
