Research

My current and recent research interests include:

Superconductivity & Josephson junctions

  • Planar S/Sm/S Josephson junctions on proximitized two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs)
  • Critical-current asymmetry and the superconducting diode effect (SDE)
  • Andreev bound states and continuum contributions to the Josephson current
  • Temperature and magnetic-field dependence of supercurrents

Spin–orbit coupling & anisotropy

  • Interplay of Rashba and Dresselhaus spin–orbit coupling in semiconductor heterostructures
  • Crystalline anisotropy and its impact on SDE and critical currents
  • Optimal magnetic-field orientations for maximizing non-reciprocal effects

Computational & theoretical tools

  • Tight-binding simulations using Kwant
  • Bogoliubov–de Gennes (BdG) Hamiltonians
  • Numerical evaluation of free energy and supercurrent from spectra
  • Analytical models for short and long junction limits

Broader interests

  • Heat and charge transport in hybrid superconducting devices
  • Possible connections between non-reciprocal transport and thermodynamic / geometric viewpoints
  • Physics education for life-science and pre-med students
