Phase Transitions in Quantum Materials
We study fundamentals of phase transitions between quantum, topological, and classical states in twisted 2D materials and complex oxides, using nanomechanical, thermodynamic, magneto-transport and optics probes.Grebenchuk, S. et al.

Quantum Materials as Sensors
We harness the sensitivity of quantum materials near critical points, where small external stimuli like strain, photons, or particles can trigger abrupt phase changes, allowing sensing concepts for nanometrology and dynamic signal detection.
