Magnetism and Topology

I am currently a research scientist in Q.InC and CQT and I lead the ​Quantum Data Storage group, together with Young-Wook Cho, Ping-Koy Lam and Steven Touzard.

​

​

My research interests are in condensed matter systems where

• non-trivial topology co-exists with magnetic order,

• novel order parameters are driven by simultaneous time- and spatial-inversion symmetry breaking and

• rare-earth ions have ultra long coherence times

I investigate the structures and excitations of these crystalline materials with neutrons, X-rays and optical spectroscopy.

​

Open positions (start date April 2026): 

- Post-doctoral researcher with at least three years of post-doctoral research experience, in locking lasers to reference cavities, programming optical and microwave pulse sequences.

- Post-doctoral researcher with at least three years of post-doctoral research experience, with experience with condensed matter magnetism, dilution fridge experiments and microwave spectroscopy.

- Research engineer with a Bachelors in Physics, Applied Physics or Electrical Engineering, with experience with lasers and optics. 

- Research engineer with a Bachelors in Physics, Applied Physics or Electrical Engineering, with experience with magnetism and microwave spectroscopy.

- Undergraduate internship, final-year projects in the general area of magnetic topological materials and multiferroics are currently available. Contact me below for more information.
 

Formerly, I was a post-doctoral researcher in the Laboratory for Quantum Magnetism of EPFL. Prior to that, I was a member of the Boothroyd group in the university of Oxford. I was also a tutor at St Anne's college for the 3rd year condensed matter physics course.
