    Interfaces and Defects in Strongly Coupled Matter

    Group Introduction

    Our group studies the physics of strongly coupled matter when space-time symmetries are broken by interfaces, boundaries and other defects. Our primary tools are holography and string theory motivated techniques, though this research synthesizes ideas from both high energy and condensed matter theory. Our focus is on discovering and exploring new and non-trivial phases of matter, from RG interfaces to topological insulators.
