About Me
I am a postdoc at the University of Pennsylvania in the group of Gene Mele. My main research interests are the topological and quantum geometric properties of electrons in low-dimensional materials. I am currently working on the structural and electronic properties of moiré materials such as twisted bilayer graphene.
