RESEARCH

I have studied quantum transport phenomena of Dirac electrons in graphene, topological insulators and other materials. My recent research also involves the novel electronic and magnetic properties of Weyl semimetals with broken time-reversal symmetry. In this project, we study electromagnetic coupling and novel magnetotransport phenomena of Weyl semimetals, and their application to spintronics.
