Research Interests

Hasan’s research focuses on the quantum aspects of 2D materials such as quantum transport and confinement effects aiming at tunning the electronic properties using external perturbations such as electric field, magnetic field, or mechanical deformation. In his work, Hasan uses a combination of first principles and effective models. His research also extends to spintronics, topological materials, antiferromagnets, and Weyl semimetals.
