About

I have recently successfully defended my PhD thesis at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. In my thesis I investigated the dynamical and braiding properties of anyons (quasiholes) in fractional quantum Hall states. My research is focused on the traditional 2-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in Gallium-Arsenide (GaAs) systems, and is based heavily on numerical calculations. At the moment I am interested in behaviours of non-Abelian anyons under realistic interactions, and I am looking for ways improve numerical routines, i.e. going to larger systems than before. So far, the latter tasks seem to need a lot of work, however. I am also interested in elementary excitations in other similar systems e.g. fractional Chern insulators.

Here are some fun pictures

Anyons on the sphere (dark-blue regions). Interactive plot created in Julia with Plotly. (On mobile you probably have to turn your device side-way to see the full plot.)

Fixing the position of four Ising anyons (quasiholes of the Pfaffian state in this case) gives two orthonormal states. Here is what they look like on the disk. What does this tell us? Not much for now, but it's fun to look at.

I started growing my hair since around the start of the pandemic and ended up quite liking it. Here it is in action at Hero's Bar, Singapore (I'm in the center). Photo by Atsusingapore


It's not that I don't know how to make a modern-looking website. I grew up with the internet in the 2000s and I like the look of the Old Web.
