About

My group’s research spans a variety of topics ranging from strongly correlated electron physics to quantum information science and metrology. We have been developing novel experimental techniques to obtain new insights into quantum matter. These include scanning NV center magnetometry and scanning single electron electrometry.

Additionally, we have been developing new scattering platforms that use magnons to probe static and dynamic magnetic order of quantum matter. Finally, we are interested in topological superconductors in hybrid geometries in order to explore prospect of non-Abelian excitations for quantum computation.
