Research Interests
My research focusses on studying spins and magnetism related phenomena in emergent quantum materials. My group employs atomically precise engineering of two-dimensional material properties, nanodevice physics, and advanced experimental techniques to probe spins and magnetism at the mesoscopic scale. Our current research focus is:
