Research Interest
interested in the studies of macroscopic manifestation of topological/geometric effects in quantum materials, as realized in both cold atomic and condensed matter systems. We have developed theoretical techniques to study artificial gauge fields in cold atoms and its associated many-body effects, Landau-Zener transitions in Dirac cone systems, as well as pseudospin models for topological semimetals.
