About Group

The research in my group focuses primarily on theoretical condensed matter physics including topological phases of matter and the search of new topological materials. Our goal is to understand how the quantum many-body systems with emergent collective degrees of freedom result from strong spin-orbit coupling, electron correlations, and the topological twists provided by quantum mechanics. The quantum topology yields a highly entangled ground state with exotic quasiparticles that are robust against perturbations. Examples of my recent works include topological insulators, topological superconductors, topological Weyl and Dirac semi-metals, topological crystalline insulators, spin liquids, topological photonic insulators, and quantum critical phenomena.
