Bio

My research interest is to understand the emergent collective behavior of interacting many-body systems. Magnetism in quantum materials provides unique opportunities to explore quantum many-body physics through experiments. I used neutron scattering and thermodynamics such as specific heat and magnetization measurements to study the quantum phase transition and quantum critical behavior in low-dimensional quantum and frustrated magnets under extreme conditions i.e. ultra-low temperature, high magnetic field and high hydrostatic pressure.
