I am a theoretical physicist interested in quantum phases of matter, strongly correlated systems, and other aspects and areas of quantum many-body systems. My background is in condensed matter physics, and much of my recent work also draws on ideas from quantum information science, high-energy physics, and mathematical physics. More specific current interests include topological and fracton phases of matter, and solid state materials with strong spin-orbit coupling and substantial electron interactions.

I am a Professor of Physics at the University of Colorado Boulder, a Fellow of the Center for Theory of Quantum Matter, and Deputy Director of the Simons Collaboration on Ultra-Quantum Matter.
