Personal profile
Research interests
--I am a theorist in condensed matter physics expert in quantum transport and quantum many-body problems stemming from disorder, electron-phonon, and Coulomb interactions. I study fundamental theoretical problems in quantum materials with the microscopic description of realistic physical properties. My main research experiences are on effective modeling of two-dimensional (2D) materials such as graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), and their heterostructures. My current research activities and interests are along different research lines, such as nonlinear optical spectroscopy, nonlinear quantum transport, strain physics/engineering, and nonlinear phononics.
