About me: My research focus on Transition-metal dichalcogenides are an emerging class of materials displaying a large variety of unusual physical phenomena, including superconductivity, and topological states, which make them attractive for fundamental and for future technologies. Among the materials in this family, WTe2 exhibits both superconducting and topological-insulating phases. However, these effects and their interplay are not well understood. To investigate the underlying mechanism, our approach is to tune electron hybridization by varying a control parameter such as composition and magnetic field, allowing information about the electronic ground state to be extracted from various measurements.
