The focus of my work is materials synthesis, crystal growth and characterization aimed towards rapid discovery and selection of important materials in condensed matter physics and their properties of interest. This is at the core of physical science that stems from electronic correlations but also fosters multitude of applied research areas associated with it.

Most often materials are made in the single crystal form since many observables of interest are tensor quantities and since this allows for the investigation of properties that are free of grain boundaries influence. Characterization includes variety of transport, thermal, magnetic and thermodynamic measurements, sometimes at extremes of low temperatures and magnetic fields.
