Welcome to the Quantum Materials Lab!

Quantum materials are systems in which interactions between electrons, spins, and the crystal lattice cannot be described by simple semi-classical pictures. As a result, they exhibit rich and exotic electronic and magnetic phenomena. Examples include altermagnets, unconventional superconductors, multiferroics, topological insulators, and quantum magnets. These emerging materials hold tremendous promise for advancing energy-efficient technologies, next-generation computing, and future platforms for information storage and processing.

Research in quantum materials is fast-moving, highly interdisciplinary, and full of exciting discoveries. In our lab, we tackle cutting-edge challenges in both the synthesis of novel quantum materials and the characterization of their bulk physical properties. Our work combines crystal growth, advanced characterization techniques, and experiments at national neutron facilities, with the goal of uncovering new quantum phases and understanding the underlying physics.

Highly motivated students are warmly invited to join our team! We welcome Ph.D. students through NJIT’s graduate programs, and we also offer a variety of research opportunities for undergraduate students who are interested in hands-on training and impactful research projects.
