Studying phonon dynamics, thermal transport, spin-phonon interactions, and materials under extreme conditions through neutron and synchrotron scattering.
Exploring the fundamental dynamics of materials across multiple scales
We study phonons, magnons, and their interactions with each other, with other degrees of freedom, and with nanostructures in materials.
We use diamond anvil cells and other high-pressure environments to probe and tune the dynamics and structure of materials, including interfacial phenomena.
We use machine learning and data science tools to guide scattering experiments and spectroscopy analysis.
We use neutron and synchrotron scattering at national facilities and optical spectroscopy such as Raman to study materials.
We use first-principles methods to simulate materials. We also do instrument simulation for scattering experiments.
Investigating how spin waves and phonons interact in ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic structures for spintronics applications.
We are always looking for motivated graduate students and postdocs to join our team.
