Ren Group
Condensed Matter Theory Group

Welcome to the Ren group in the physics department at UD! Our research focuses on condensed matter systems' geometric phase effects and nonequilibrium phenomena. Currently, of particular interest is the interplay between spin, phonon, and electronic excitations in low-dimensional systems, as well as their nonequilibrium dynamics driven by light. This research also potentially furnishes novel functionalities for spintronics, magnonics, and phononics applications. See Research for more details.
