I am a condensed matter theorist interested in understanding how collective quantum phenomena emerge from interacting microscopic degrees of freedom. My research explores strongly correlated and quantum many-body systems, with particular emphasis on unconventional magnetism, superconductivity, topology, and other emergent phases of matter. I use analytical and computational approaches to investigate how electronic correlations, orbital and spin degrees of freedom, and spin-orbit effects produce novel quantum states and excitations.

Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of British Columbia and Oak Ridge National Laboratory. I received my Ph.D. from the University of Tennessee in 2020 under the supervision of Prof. Elbio Dagotto.
