Main Focus
My research centers on the synthesis and growth of high-quality single crystals of quantum and strongly correlated materials. I employ advanced crystal growth techniques combined with comprehensive structural and compositional analyses using X-ray diffraction (powder and single-crystal), Laue diffraction, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). To probe the intrinsic physical properties, I perform magnetization, resistivity, heat capacity, and thermal conductivity measurements using PPMS and SQUID magnetometry, complemented by neutron diffraction and muon spin rotation (µSR) studies to explore magnetic structures and dynamics in detail.
Curriculum Vitae
My work is dedicated to the discovery, synthesis, and detailed investigation of novel quantum materials with complex electronic and magnetic interactions. I focus on systems exhibiting frustrated magnetism, cluster- and molecular-based magnetic motifs, and Mott transition phenomena, with particular interest in hexagonal perovskites and face-sharing octahedral frameworks. By integrating advanced crystal growth with a broad suite of experimental probes—from laboratory-based measurements to large-scale facility techniques such as neutron diffraction and µSR—my research seeks to uncover the interplay between crystal structure and emergent properties, advancing our understanding of strongly correlated and low-dimensional magnetic systems.
