Research

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics at Oklahoma State University, leading a research group working on theoretical quantum science. I am an AMO and condensed matter theorist, broadly interested in quantum many-body physics and quantum simulation.

 

On the condensed matter side, I've been mainly interested in (classical) spin systems, novel phases that appear in them, and their exotic dynamics. On the quantum side I've worked on a variety of topics, ranging from time-dependent quantum dynamics, over synthetic dimensions to SU(N) Fermi gases, and quantum spin dynamics, with a particular interest in quantum metrology and spin squeezing.

 

The main driving motivation of my theoretical work is to provide insightful explanations for experimental results and actionable realistic proposals for applications and exploration of fundamental physics. I much enjoy collaboration with experimental groups, and my work is often guided by recent novel experimental capabilities and attempts to open practical new avenues for advancing quantum simulation, information, and metrology in ultra-cold atomic and molecular setups.
