Research overview

I study condensed matter physics under the direction of Matthew Fisher. At the moment I mainly focus on using computational techniques to study exotic phases of matter in model systems.

Recent publications

“Non-Fermi-liquid d-wave metal phase of strongly interacting electrons,” Hong-Chen Jiang, Matthew S. Block, Ryan V. Mishmash, James R. Garrison, D. N. Sheng, Olexei I. Motrunich and Matthew P. A. Fisher, Nature 493, 39–44 (2013) [arXiv:1207.6608]. (see also: commentary by Patrick Lee)

Upcoming activities

APS March Meeting, 2013 – “Moving toward two dimensions in a t-J-K model with frustrating ring exchange: the quest to stabilize a non-Fermi liquid d-wave metal phase” (abstract).
