About
I am an experimental condensed-matter physicist interested in how materials can be designed to create, understand and control emergent quantum and topological states.
My research spans unconventional superconductivity, correlated quantum matter, engineered interfaces, topological magnetism, magnetic skyrmions, and hybrid magnetic–superconducting systems. A recurring theme throughout my work has been the development of new materials architectures and experimental capabilities that make previously difficult physical questions experimentally accessible.
Over more than three decades, my research has evolved from precision studies of unconventional superconductivity towards the deliberate engineering of materials platforms in which emergent states can be created, resolved, coupled and controlled. I am particularly interested in the connections between materials design, magnetism, superconductivity and quantum matter, and in how these connections can open new ways of exploring fundamental physics.
I am Professor of Physics and Applied Physics at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. My academic formation began in Australia and Japan before I moved to Cambridge, where I received my PhD and was a member of Trinity College. I subsequently held a Junior Research Fellowship and a Royal Society University Research Fellowship, and have since held academic positions and visiting appointments across Europe and Asia.
My international research activity has included visiting professorships at the University of Chicago, Argonne National Laboratory, CNRS-Thales, École Normale Supérieure, Paris, and Kyoto University. I am a Fellow of the American Physical Society and have received research awards in Europe and Singapore.
Alongside research, I have taught undergraduate and graduate physics and have trained more than 60 researchers. I have published more than 140 research articles and delivered more than 270 invited lectures and talks internationally. I have also contributed extensively to international scientific assessment, serving on research and education panels and reviewing major research initiatives and research centres across Europe, North America and Asia.
