I am  generally interested in all aspects of condensed matter physics, broadly construed, with a specific focus on topological phases of matter in correlated materials, and the non-equilibrium dynamics of isolated systems. 

Most recently, my work has focused on

• 1.  the interplay of crystal symmetry with topological properties of single- and many-particle electronic wavefunctions, and the potential insights this offers to realizing and detecting exotic phases and phase transitions - most recently, in the context of moiré systems such as twisted bilayer graphene

  2. the physics of strongly interacting quantum systems in the presence of impurities, particularly isolated, many-body localized systems, and topological phases with strong disorder.

Both these areas have interesting and fruitful intersections with the nature of quantum information and its links to computation, including the practical question of how to best use noisy, intermediate-scale quantum ("NISQ") devices to explore new physics.

I am particularly interested in developing theoretical ideas and techniques in tandem with their applications to solid-state and cold-atom systems, and frequently collaborate with experimental colleagues at Oxford and elsewhere.
