I lead the pair distribution function (PDF) research within the group. My research focuses on hierarchical atomic structure and nanoscale fluctuations characterization of precursor, emergent, and hidden states in quantum materials exhibiting emergent phenomena insluding charge density waves, unconventional superconductivity, metal-insulator transitions, and high performance thermoelectricity.
