Emergent phenomena in strongly correlated d- and f-electron quantum materials, including superconductivity, magnetism, valence fluctuation and heavy fermion behavior, and topological phenomena. Quantum matter under extreme conditions of low temperature (millikelvin region), high pressure (megabar range), and high magnetic field (100 tesla range).

He leads a research group in experimental condensed matter physics that focuses on emergent phenomena in strongly correlated d- and f-electron quantum materials. Another major effort involves the study of quantum matter under extreme conditions of low temperature (millikelvin range), high pressure (megabar region), and high magnetic field (100 tesla region). Subjects under investigation include high temperature and unconventional types of superconductivity, valence fluctuation and heavy fermion behavior, quantum criticality, quantum spin liquids, topological insulators, and exotic types of magnetism. Research activities in his laboratory include materials synthesis and single crystal growth, and transport, thermal, and magnetic measurements as a function of temperature, pressure, and magnetic field.
