My research focuses on how strong electron-electron interactions and non-trivial band topology give rise to new phases of matter. As a condensed matter theorist, I use both analytical and numerical techniques to study these phenomena. I've worked on twisted bilayer graphene as a platform for correlated and topological effects, and explored other two-dimensional systems, including patterned and twisted heterostructures. Before joining Oxford, I studied Natural Sciences at Trinity College, Cambridge, and completed my PhD at Princeton University.
