My research seeks to understand how quantum processes at the atomic scale determine the macroscopic behavior of solids. By bringing together condensed-matter physics, high-performance computing, and materials science, I investigate how interactions between electrons and the ionic lattice give rise to emergent quasiparticles and collective phases, and how these phenomena shape the functional properties of materials.

The broader goal is to translate this microscopic understanding into design principles that guide the development of materials for electronics, energy conversion, information processing, and quantum technologies.
