<p>I am moving to Stony Brook in 2025.</p>

I am interested in the condensed matter theory of strongly correlated system, particularly quantum spin liquid, quantum criticality, conformal field theory, topological phases of matter, quantum field theory and numerical simulations. 

 

I am moving to Stony Brook in 2025. I have opennings for PhD students and postdoc fellows, if you are interested in working with me, please apply to Stony Brook. The postdoc fellowship position can be applied here (https://apply.interfolio.com/151845). Feel free to reach me at [email protected].
