Study of quantum many-body systems

Welcome! I am glad you are here. I am a theoretical condensed matter physicist. My research dives into the equilibrium phases and non-equilibrium dynamics of quantum many-body systems. I explore quantum phases and phase transitions, topological properties, and non-equilibrium dynamics. I spend most of my time building numerical models to simulate these systems. Whether it is using Exact Diagonalization for small systems or Matrix Product State-based methods like DMRG, TEBD, etc., for larger systems, I am always looking for new ways to probe the quantum world of many-body systems.
