About
The interplay between electronic charge, spin, orbital and lattice degrees of freedom leads to many different phases in solid state materials. Arguably most intriguing are strongly correlated electron systems for which theoretical frameworks often fail to accurately account for emergent quantum effects. Here, strong fluctuations among the degrees of freedom yield novel macroscopic quantum phenomena that are not yet understood on a fundamental level. My research activities address the origin of various emergent quantum effects in strongly correlated materials through a solid understanding of the microscopic interactions among the salient degrees of freedom. To achieve this I predominately use neutron scattering techniques, which are regularly combined with static and time-resolved x-ray scattering and muon spin spectroscopy techniques. These techniques have proven to be particular potent in attaining microscopic information on quantum materials, and I mainly use them to target open questions on quantum critical phenomena in rare-earth metals and intertwined ground states in transition-metal oxides. In order to reach my research goals I am also committed to improve experimental techniques through instrumentation and computational projects.
