My research focuses on the exotic orders emerging from the interplay between lattice, charge, spin and orbital degrees of freedom at interfaces of van der Waals and molecular-beam-epitaxy heterostructures. My primary experimental techniques include nonlinear optical spectroscopy and synchrotron-based photoemission spectroscopy/microscopy.
