Some specifics:
Keywords that broadly describe my current interests: VMC, neural quantum states, Hubbard models, ultra-cold atomic simulators, TMDs, polaron physics, multi-orbital materials, multi-valley physics, ultrafast light induced phenomena.
When I started at ETH, my research focused on non-interacting band topology, particularly fragile topology, and the inverse design of topological designer meta-materials. I also spent some time researching the effect of disorder on fragile topology. There are still a bunch of interesting questions to explore there, but my recent research has reoriented from the non-interacting to strongly interacting and multi-valley 2D materials, including poloron physics therein. Even more recently, I’ve developed a strong interest in the world of light induced phenomena and ultrafast solid state physics.

Pedagogical Notes: I am constantly writing notes during research and teaching, so if and when they are clean enough and the time is right, they might end up here.
