My research lies at the intersection of strongly correlated electron systems, topological quantum phase transitions, and entanglement properties in quantum materials. I bridge theoretical physics with design and development of novel numerical methods, to exploit scalable high-performance computing.

Research Focus

Strongly Correlate Electrons DMFT / ED / DMRG

Investigation of Mott-Hubbard phase transitions, orbital selectivity, and symmetry-breaking states in lattice models and correlated heterostructures using exact and dynamical mean-field methodologies.

Interacting Topological States Topological Physics

Interplay between electron-electron correlations and non-trivial topology, topological quantum phase transitions, edge-state reconstruction, and symmetric mass generation in low-dimensional systems.

Non-Equilibrium Dynamics Driven Systems

Real-time dynamics and temporal evolution of quantum interacting systems subjected to strong external field drives, ultrafast quenches, and coupling to thermal baths.

HPC & Software Engineering Modern Fortran / Python

Designing object-oriented, highly scalable parallel engines for quantum many-body systems (Exact Diagonalization, DMRG) optimized for multi-core HPC cluster environments.

Scientific Software & Open-Source Projects

I am a strong advocate for high-performance open-source computational tools in physics, leveraging modern Fortran paradigms for numerical kernels and Python for analytics.

SciFortran Fortran 2003/2008

A comprehensive, object-oriented library for mathematics, science, and engineering in modern Fortran — providing high-level abstractions and numerical routines (akin to SciPy for Python).
