I am pleased to announce that my project with Tishya Patel and Yusen Ye is now available on arXiv here. This project was inspired by…

I am pleased to announce that my paper “Gauge-invariant optical selection rules for excitons” has been published in Elsevier’s Physica B: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physb.2024.416402 This paper is…

In this write-up, I present further informal supplementary results from some preliminary investigations on my published work: Quantized interband topological index in two-dimensional systems PhysRevB.108.L081111…

Below is my reviewed assignment from my final project for my Quantum Dynamics course taught by Dr. Mark Rudner. Perhaps it might inspire you to…

I am incredibly honored to share that my work on the interband topological index is now published as a Letter — that’s also an Editors’…

Totally forgot to post this, but in December last year, we uploaded my computational electromagnetism paper on arXiv: https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.11930 It was a genuine pleasure working…

2D quantum breathing-Kagomé materials are an exciting platform to study the interplay between geometry, topology, strong electronic correlations, and magnetism. I have been working on…

I was doing some solo explorations on Nb3Cl8 when my advisor was like “yo dis fella do’on Nb3I8” and I’m like “damn them halogens bruh”…

Below is a list of talks in reverse chronological order that I have given to crowds of over 5 people [last updated: 08/20/2021]: Mathematical Physics…

UPDATE [07/31/2023]: It’s on arXiv!UPDATE [12/23/2020]: We are in the process of editing our publication! Being another ongoing project, I cannot say much about this…

UPDATE [08/10/2024]: Pleased to announce that the second application of the interband index is now published!UPDATE [08/15/2023]: Happy to say the first application of the…

Dr. David Kleinfeld introduced me to this open question in neurophysics. It felt refreshing to return to a biophysics problem after messing with other sub-fields…

This extremely bassy project based on a fascinating phenomenon was the basis of my PHYS 173 Course (Modern Physics Laboratory: Biological and Quantum Physics). Everyone…

This was the product of a group project that Joanne T.-Y. H., Benjamin S., Erik A. and I worked on for our PHYS 178 (The…

This was my first ever research project (December 2015 – March 2016), facilitated via UC San Diego’s Faculty Mentor Program. My mentor was Dr. Wouter-Jan…

This section will contain posts about my serious research projects (both ongoing and past). I will attempt to maintain one post per project, but… 😉…
