In recent years, a wide variety of experimental observation & theoretical prediction have found that many phase transition in real materials show complex interesting states that are nontrivial. Studying the origin of exotic quantum phases such as coexistent and inhomogeneous phases, quantum criticality, secondary ordered phases close to quantum critical points, are of my interests. In addition I’m using computational methods based on the density functional theory to calculate Material electronic structure to understand correlation between electronic structure and physical properties.

I am thinking that my academic training and my years of experience working as a researcher and as a teacher can provide excellent science education for my students. My goal is to promote interdisciplinary education, research, and studies among students. This may provide the students to understand physics and engineering subjects interestingly. I am teaching calculus-based introductory Physics I & II at TCNJ.
