Research

My research focuses on understanding quantum materials in which disorder of atoms and magnetic moments generates unconventional states of matter. I use a combination of scattering experiments and atomistic modeling techniques to study the structures and behavior of these materials at the nanoscale. I work in the section and as part of the Basic Energy Sciences project Understanding Quantum Matter Beyond the Unit Cell. Please for more information about my work.

Software

I am the author of the software packages , , and for modeling scattering data from spin liquids and disordered materials. Please to download and learn more about these programs.
