I joined the group in July 2021 as a postdoctoral researcher. My research in the Kanatzidis group, in collaboration with the Argonne National Lab, involves fundamental research of new materials with topological and superconducting properties. Typically, these are intermetallics, pnictides and chalcogenides. In my Ph.D., I carried out exploratory molten halide salt flux crystal growth of oxide and chalcogenide materials with unique physical properties.
