My research focuses on the quantum aspects of 2D materials, such as quantum transport and confinement effects, with the aim of tuning the electronic properties using external perturbations, including electric and magnetic fields, or mechanical deformation. I use a combination of tight-binding and effective models, and my current research extends to spintronics, orbitronics, topological materials, and Weyl semimetals.
