About Me

I am a researcher in the Condensed Matter Theory group at the University of Antwerp. My research focuses on the electronic properties of two-dimensional materials, including graphene and other van der Waals materials. I am especially interested in quantum geometry, band topology, and correlated electronic phases of artificial quantum materials in van der Waals heterostructures.

At present, I study moiré materials, which are created by stacking atomically-thin layers with a relative twist angle, such as twisted transition-metal dichalcogenide bilayers. In particular, I investigate structural moiré reconstruction and electron-electron interactions between the low-energy moiré electrons.
