About

I am a lecturer at the University of California, Davis, teaching undergraduate students in physics and engineering basic and advanced physics. I also collaborate with several experimental and theory groups in condensed matter physics all over the globe focussing on critical phenomena, quantum magnetism, topological materials, transport properties, and driven quantum systems. My current interests lie in Hilbert Space fragmentation and associated critical phenomena for systems with subsystem symmetries. Additionally, I use the numerical linked cluster expansion to study heavy fermion compounds of interests to groups in John's Hopkins and Princeton Universities.
