Research

I am an experimental quantum-materials scientist investigating how atomically engineered interfaces between two distinct quantum materials create electronic phases and properties unavailable in the individual constituents. My research combines atomic-scale synthesis of high-quality crystalline heterostructures, low-temperature and high-magnetic-field quantum measurements, and advanced electronic-device engineering.

My scientific approach is to identify a target quantum interaction via its many-body Hamiltonians, construct the interface to realize it, and experimentally establish the resulting electronic phase. When an emergent property offers a reproducible functional advantage, I seek to translate it into programmable materials and device platforms. Below are selected research discoveries across three platforms:

1. Weyl-semimetal/classical-spin-ice interfaces — interfacial symmetry-broken state

I co-conceived and led experimental studies of Eu₂Ir₂O₇/Dy₂Ti₂O₇ pyrochlore heterostructures that feature a Weyl semimetal/classical-spin-ice interface, revealing interfacial electronic anisotropy and rotational symmetry breaking associated with the coupling of classical spin ice's frustrated magnetism to topological electronic states. This discovery showcases the potential of pyrochlore frustrated magnet/topological semimetal heterostructures in search of emergent interfacial phenomena.

2. Weyl-semimetal/quantum-spin-ice interfaces — transducing frustrated quantum magnetism into Weyl Fermi-arc transport

I conceived and led studies of Eu₂Ir₂O₇/Tb₂Ti₂O₇ pyrochlore heterostructures, whose interface forms a synthetic Kondo lattice between the Weyl semimetal and quantum spin ice. High-field transport reveals a sixfold → twelvefold → sixfold evolution of electronic anisotropy absent in the classical-spin-ice reference and beyond the known Tb₂Ti₂O₇'s literature, establishing synthetic Kondo lattice interfaces as a route for transducing hidden quantum magnetism into distinct Weyl Fermi-arc transport responses.

3. Ultrathin multiferroics on silicon — enabling strain-tunable topological-surface-states/antiferomagnetic-magnon interface platform and novel low-power computing

My postdoctoral research (starting Aug. 2025) extends interface engineering to semiconductor-compatible ferroic oxides. I developed a sputtered multiferroic BiFeO₃-on-silicon platform by devising novel electrode-engineering methods to achieve low-voltage ferroelectric switching, long-term retention, and scalable thin-film processing. This platform enables ongoing 3D heterogeneous integration with CMOS for low-power computing and a strain-tunable topological-surface-states/antiferomagnetic-magnon interface program.
