My present research focuses on the electronic structure and properties of quantum matter and emergent materials. The recent focus has been on topological insulators, oxide hetero-interfaces and nanowires. My focus is towards spectroscopic investigations of new quantum materials such as topological insulators, high Tc superconductors and complex oxides. Rotational symmetry breaking in topological superconductor. Visualizing the MIT in V. Despite 60 years of research.

Welcome to the website of Dr. I am member of the Hard Condensed Matter group at the Van der Waals-Zeeman Institute for Experimental Physics. Which is part of the Institute of Physics. Of the Faculty of Science. Rotational symmetry breaking in the topological superconductor Sr. Quantum oscillations of the topological surface states in low carrier concentration crystals of Bi.

The research in the Golden Lab focuses on the experimental investigation of the electronic structure and properties of quantum matter and emergent materials. Our aim is to understand the surprising behaviour of low dimensional and strongly interacting electronic systems. For a break-down of the research topics we are currently working on, click here. Knobs control Dirac energy in topological insulators. Four knobs - bulk stoichiometry, surface decoration, temperature, and photon exposur.

Functional quantum materials from interacting and topological states of matter for future technologies. The emergence of ordered states in interacting electron systems through symmetry breaking phase transitions are a corner stone of contemporary condensed matter physics. The recent discovery of symmetry protected topological states of matter has uncovered a completely new paradigm to realise ordered states of matter. In the past I have also obtained funding from ICAM-I2CAM and the NSF.
