As a postdoctoral research fellow in RhodesLab, I am excited about investigating strongly correlated electronic phases of matter in quantum materials. Recent developments in quantum theoretical methods and the continuing improvement in high-performance computing allow us to model the interacting phases of matter with ever greater accuracy. I aim to harness these to hopefully provide insight into where and how we might be able to realise desirable many-body phases of matter, such as high-temperature superconductivity.

I’m always interested in topics across condensed matter physics, emergent phenomena and many-body physics. Feel free to reach out to me via e-mail.
