Research interests:

My research interests include topological order in various dimensions, unconventional superconductivity, quantum magnetism, and many body localization. In particular, I am interested in studying novel fractional quantum Hall and fractional topological superconducting states with potential applications in universal quantum computation.

Short bio:

I was born in 1987. I received my B.Sc. and M.Sc. from Sharif University of Technology (SUT) in 2006 and 2007, respectively. I did my Ph.D. at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and graduated in December 2010 (advisor: Prof. Xiao-Gang Wen). Right after my graduation, I accepted a tenure track offer from the Physics Department at SUT. In 2012, I moved to Cornell University as a postdoctoral fellow and received a Bethe fellowship. After three years, I joined Stanford University as a Gordon and Betty Moore postdoctoral fellow and later became a research scientist there.
