I am a Marie Curie Fellow working in the macroscopic quantum matter group.
My work focusses on quantum materials with strong electron interactions, which often produce unexpected, emergent phases, like high-temperature superconductivity or fractional quantum Hall states. I approach this strongly interacting regime from two different directions: by searching for materials with naturally occurring strong interactions, typically involving lanthanides and actinides, and by developing new strategies to enhance existing interactions by arranging atoms one by one using a scanning tunneling microscope.
Previously, I completed my PhD in quantum materials and acoustic metamaterials at Harvard University in 2021.
