About

I am interested in developing numerical methods to study many-body interactions in superconductors and correlated topological materials. My Ph. D. research focused on studying the interplay between electron-electron and electron-phonon interactions using *determinant quantum Monte Carlo* (DQMC) and *dynamic mean field theory* (DMFT). At the University of Michigan, I studied spin fluctuations in triangular systems. Many of my investigations focus on the dynamical magnetic and charge responses, which can be measured in optical experiments, including inelastic neutron scattering and Resonant x-ray experiments. I am also interested in the Majorana fermions in the Kitaev system and topological superconductors. In addition to quantum materials, I combined machine-learning technique with many-body physics and developed machine-learning assisted quantum Monte Carlo method. Currently, I am interested in quantum computing and quantum artificial intelligence.

About

As a researcher focusing on the influence of cultural values, activism engagement, and racial-ethnic stress among Latino adolescents, my work aims to uncover the dynamics that shape their well-being and coping mechanisms. Using wearable technology, I explore how heart rate variability (HRV) is impacted by racism and if the choice between traditional and mainstream cultural values serves as protective factors against the physiological and emotional effects of racism. Through quantitative and qualitative approaches, I analyze data to provide equitable, meaningful insights and evidence-based recommendations. With expertise in statistical analysis, including repeated measures analysis and mixed-effects models, I strive to contribute to the existing literature by uncovering new insights into the protective factors associated with cultural values and activism engagement. My research ultimately seeks to empower adolescents of color to notice the physiological impact of discrimination, navigate racial-ethnic stressors, enhance their mental health, academic success, and overall resilience. I welcome collaborations with fellow researchers, educators, and organizations dedicated to understanding and addressing the unique challenges faced by adolescents of color. Let's work together to make a positive impact on their lives and create a more inclusive society.
