I lead the resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) program in the Condensed Matter Physics and Materials Science Department at Brookhaven National Laboratory. My research focuses on quantum materials, including high temperature superconductors, strongly spin-orbit coupled materials, complex oxide heterostructures, non-equilibrium states and topology in crystalline materials.
