Area of Interest:
Condensed Matter Theory: strongly correlated systems, quantum many-body theory, Kondo physics, quantum oscillations, superconductivity, quantum transport, and single/bilayer graphene systems
My research interests and scientific contributions are primarily in the fields of strongly correlated electron systems, superconductivity, quantum transport theory, and topology in multi-terminal Josephson junctions. My work aims to understand the underlying theory of quantum oscillations in Kondo insulating materials (such as SmB6 and YbB12), the formation of Andreev bands in systems with magnetic impurities embedded in a superconducting host material, and Andreev reflection physics in bilayer graphene-superconductor junctions. I also explore the topological properties governed by Andreev bound states in multi-terminal Josephson junctions.
