I am currently a postdoctoral research associate with Prof. Allan MacDonald at the University of Texas at Austin. I have a wide range of research interests which can be broadly classified as the following areas:

1. 1. Many-body Physics in Low-dimensional System,  e.g. electron correlation effects, phonon effects on band structure and transport properties. These effects often have important implications on the operating characteristics of, e.g. 2D GaAs semiconductor devices.
   

2. 2. Electronic and transport properties of graphene. This overlaps with the previous area, but graphene as a new material exhibits many interesting and unusual properties, such as a massless linear energy dispersion, anomalous quantum Hall effect, etc, that warrants separate investigations.          
   

3. 3. Topological Insulators (TIs) and Topological Phases, e.g. 3D TIs, 2D TIs (i.e. quantum spin Hall insulators), and quantum anomalous Hall insulators. My research focus in this area is to understand the electronic and transport characteristics of these insulators as well as to uncover new topological phases.
   

4. 4.Semiconductor Spin Transport and Spintronics, e.g. spin Hall effects, spin Coulomb drag. Spintronics holds great potential to increase the information processing power and storage capacity of regular electronic devices by making use of the electronic spin degrees of freedom. My research in this area involves studying spin transport properties in the presence of spin-orbit coupling, spin relaxation, and electron Coulomb interaction.
