My research utilizes both optical and transport methods to study low-dimensional materials. My main focus is the topology and strong correlations in graphene-based systems, using standard electrical transport methods and a Fourier-transform Infrared (FTIR) photocurrent spectroscopy technique. We developed this technique to solve the size mismatch problem between long wavelengths and small devices, which allows us to investigate low-energy physics in the far-IR and THZ range. We also use Scanning Near-field Optical Microscopy (SNOM) to boost the fabrication of high-quality rhombohedral-stacking graphene samples.
