Overview
Area of Study / Keywords
Condensed Matter Theory
Research
- Topological phases of matter -- topological order, symmetry-protected topological phases (insulators, semimetals, superconductors), bulk-boundary correspondence, surface anomalies, Majorana boundary modes
- Hyperbolic matter -- non-Abelian band theory, hyperbolic topological phases, experimental synthetization, connection to AdS/CFT
- Correlated quantum many-body system -- SYK models, frustrated spin models
- Table-top simulation of high-energy physics or gravity -- emergence (chiral anomaly in Weyl and Dirac semimetals, Majorana fermions at boundary of topological superconductors), holographic duality (black hole dual realized as SYK model in graphene)
