My research focuses on understanding and controlling the ultrafast dynamics of quantum and magnetic materials. I am particularly interested in how light and terahertz fields can manipulate spin, lattice, and electronic degrees of freedom on their natural timescales, and how these interactions give rise to transient states of matter that do not exist under equilibrium conditions.
My broader goal is to develop experimental approaches that connect fundamental condensed matter physics with emerging concepts in spintronics, quantum technologies, and ultrafast information processing. To achieve this, I combine ultrafast optical and terahertz spectroscopy, nonlinear optics, and coherent control techniques to investigate strongly correlated and quantum materials.
A central part of my research vision is to move beyond observing material dynamics and toward actively steering them. By selectively exciting and coupling different microscopic degrees of freedom, I aim to identify new routes for controlling magnetic order, collective excitations, and functional properties of materials on ultrafast timescales.
