I am the group leader of the Dynamics and Control FWP, which focuses on resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) of quantum materials. My research interests include complex oxides, strongly spin-orbit coupled materials, quantum heterostructures, non-equilibrium states and topology in crystalline materials.
