About me

I am interested in topological phases and interaction effects both in and out of equilibrium.

Currently, I am exploring analytical methods in coupled-wire constructions, with the prospects of engineering novel fractional quantum Hall states in Moire systems. For open quantum matter, on the other side, I will study Liouvillian skin effect and its generalizations to higher-dimensional lattice models.

I obtained my PhD degree in 2020 supervised by Prof. Karyn Le Hur at Ecole Polytechnique, Paris.  I studied topological Majorana fermion models, including Kitaev spin liquids, through exact mappings and bosonization. Later, I did separate postdocs at Stockholm University and EPFL, in the groups of Prof. Emil J. Bergholtz and Prof. Giuseppe Carleo respectively, where I learned non-Hermitian topology and the modelling of disordered spin liquids in frustrated random quantum magnets.

Sculptured Topological Heterostructures

In this theoretical project, we intend to investigate what happens when we assemble exotic topological components. More specifically, we want to investigate four types of "sculptured topological heterostructures" as briefly described below.
