An aspiring condensed matter physicist exploring topological quantum materials through density functional theory, with a focus on symmetry, band topology, and the role of magnetism in emergent quantum states.
My research lies at the intersection of condensed matter theory and computational physics. I primarily use density functional theory and first principles methods to investigate the electronic structure of topological quantum materials, with a focus on band topology, symmetry protected phenomena, and magnetism, aiming to understand and predict emergent quantum states.

Symmetry lies at the heart of physics, governing conservation laws, electronic structure, and the fundamental behavior of matter. In crystalline solids, point group symmetries define how atoms are arranged and how properties such as band structure and optical response emerge.

The 14 Bravais lattices, first classified by Auguste Bravais, reveal the beautiful order behind all crystalline solids, showing how atoms repeat in space to create structure and symmetry. Step into reciprocal space, where Brillouin zones bring this periodicity to life, highlighting high-symmetry k-points and paths that shape electronic band structures and material behavior. Explore all 14 Bravais lattices with their corresponding Brillouin zones and band-structure paths. drag · zoom · pan.
