In our lab, we study how electronic correlations affect transport in quantum materials. We are especially interested in metal–insulator transitions and non-linear transport in thin films and low-dimensional systems.

Part of our work focuses on vanadium oxide Magnéli and Wadsley phases. We use them as model systems to study electronic behavior between well-known compounds such as VO₂ and V₂O₃. We work with thin films and device structures of different geometries, and we track how charge transport changes across phase transitions.

Our experimental approach combines thin-film deposition, structural characterization, and electrical transport measurements as a function of temperature, magnetic field, and pressure. This lets us connect microstructure, electronic order, and device-level response. We collaborate with Brookhaven National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the Australian National University, and Stony Brook University.

We also work on iron-based superconductors to understand how electronic correlations, magnetism, and collective electronic states compete with one another. This gives us a useful reference point for comparing our results across different classes of quantum materials.
