Physicist and engineer working at the intersection of computational and theoretical condensed matter physics. My work is grounded in:

Primary Research Domains

• Low-dimensional quantum materials: monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (MoS₂, WSe₂, MoTe₂), graphene heterostructures, moiré superlattices
• First-principles electronic structure: DFT, beyond-DFT methods (GW, TDDFT, hybrid functionals), Wannier tight-binding downfolding
• Multiscale modeling: bridging ab initio to continuum, coupling electronic and mechanical degrees of freedom
• Strain engineering: how mechanical deformation modifies band topology, Berry curvature, phonon spectra, and transport

Theoretical Foundations I Operate From

• Many-body quantum mechanics and second quantization
• Statistical quantum mechanics: density matrices, partition functions, Green's function formalism, Matsubara techniques
• Landau theory, symmetry breaking, order parameters
• Topological band theory: Chern numbers, Z₂ invariants, edge states
• Quantum kinetic theory and Boltzmann transport

Computational Methods

• VASP, Quantum ESPRESSO, Wannier90, LAMMPS
• Tight-binding model construction and k·p perturbation theory
• Molecular dynamics with quantum-corrected force fields
• Numerical Green's functions, spectral functions, LDOS
