  Research Focus

My research explores topological phenomena in classical wave systems. Current and past work focuses on anomalous Floquet topological phases in active matter, 3D quantum Hall effects in photonic systems, and pseudomagnetic-field-induced (chiral) Landau levels. Future work aims to pursue novel physical mechanisms in classical complex wave platforms.
