We design and study new materials with novel physical properties.

Our goal is to elucidate the physical interactions that are responsible for unconventional properties of new materials.

We grow crystals of new materials, often in the form of high quality single crystals. After creating new materials, we tune them to study how to control and improve their physical properties. The tuning parameters can be chemical substitutions, high-magnetic field and/or high-pressure.
