Bio

I am a theoretical condensed matter physicist who’s work bridges the divide between theoretical and experimental research in correlated quantum materials. My passion is in the understanding of real correlated quantum materials, in particular unconventional superconductors, with the aim to enhance and stabilise these technologically important emerging properties in more favourable regimes.
