Research

I study topological phases of matter. This can range from strongly correlated phases, such as the quantum Hall effect, to uncorrelated topological band structures. I am interested in classification, measurement, and materials discovery.

My research is funded by an NSF Early Career Award, the Columbia NSF MRSEC, the AFOSR, the Simons Foundation, and a Sloan Fellowship.

For the most up-to-date list of publications, see my papers on the ArXiv.
