Welcome! My name is Ryan and I am a sixth year Ph.D. student in the Department of Physics at Princeton University. I'm an experimental condensed matter physicist broadly interested in emergent phenomena in strongly correlated quantum materials. I'm also very passionate about combating discrimination in academia and am actively involved in the Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion initiative at Princeton Physics.

What is the nature of the correlated phases in magic-angle graphene? We answer this question by zooming-in to the atomic scale with scanning tunneling microscopy. Imaging of the many-body wavefunction reveals exotic quantum textures at the various correlated phases in MATBG. We develop a novel symmetry-based analysis framework to allow us to distinguish between theoretical ground state candidates in our measurements. Are there implications for superconductivity?
