TOPOLOGICAL QUANTUM CATALYSIS
Quantum Materials for Sustainable Energy Conversion
Our research focuses on topological quantum materials, including chiral semimetals, magnetic topological systems, and non-collinear antiferromagnets. These materials host exotic electronic states characterized by Berry curvature, spin texture, spin-orbit coupling, and electronic chirality. We investigate how these quantum properties influence catalytic activity, selectivity, charge transfer, and reaction pathways under operating conditions.
