About me
I am postdoctoral researcher interested in strongly correlated phases of matter. I currently work in Prof. Jeffrey Quilliam’s lab at the Institut Quantique in Université de Sherbrooke. There, I study various classes of quantum materials such as heavy fermions, spin liquids and multiferroics. I am especially interested in using the concept of atomic-scale multipoles to better understand those intriguing materials. I use many experimental tools in my research and I am looking forward to discover two new tools in Quilliam’s lab: ultrasound velocity measurements and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR).
