My Research Interests

I am a theoretical physicist interested in quantum phases of matter, strongly correlated systems, and other aspects and areas of quantum many-body systems. My background is in condensed matter physics, and much of my recent work also draws on ideas from quantum information science, high-energy physics, and mathematical physics. More specific current interests include topological and fracton phases of matter, and solid state materials with strong spin-orbit coupling and substantial electron interactions. I am a Fellow of the Center for Theory of Quantum Matter, and the Deputy Director of the Simons Collaboration on Ultra-Quantum Matter.


My Background

I graduated from Harvard University with an A.B. in Physics in 2001. I pursued my graduate studies at University of California Santa Barbara, where my advisor was Matthew P. A. Fisher. I received my PhD in 2005, and moved to MIT where I was a postdoc in the condensed matter theory group until 2007, when I joined the physics department here in Boulder as an assistant professor.
