Excited to share our new work on arXiv (arxiv.org/abs/2508.11237)! 🎉 Arshath and Saeed show that tilting a material inside an optical cavity can induce a Moiré-like effect—even in a single layer—and enable the emergence of flat bands!!!

Excited to share that our very own Logan Blackham has been awarded the NSF GRFP !! @tamuchemistry.bsky.social

Very excited to share that our very own Saeed R. Koshkaki has won the Löwdin Postdoctoral Research award for his work on coherent polariton transport in multilayered materials at the Sanibel Symposium!!
Here's his preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2502.12933

Our group is expanding !!!!

We had Prof Liang-Yan Hsu visit our group last week! He taught us about plasmonics and cavity free qed effects!!

Excited to share that our brilliant postdoc, Saeed R. Koshkaki (@planetquantum.bsky.social), has been awarded a APS Postdoc Travel Award! 🎉 Don’t miss his talk at the March Meeting, where he’ll present his exciting research from our group!!!!

Our group meetings are in full swing! @sachithpw.bsky.social gave a great talk on quantum trajectories- which pritha (grad student) found quite amusing :D

We are all set with our new instrument that enable microwave radiation induced thermal fluctuations in edible (also in non edibles as it turns out) materials !!
Also- I have been told that the plastic plant has increased productivity by upto 12% among graduate students :D

We had our first visitor to our group — Dr. Chong Sun from Microsoft Quantum/Rice!
