Tafti lab is an interdisciplinary research program at the junction of condensed matter physics, materials science, and solid-state chemistry. We combine theoretical and experimental techniques to design new quantum materials to revolutionize three major technological areas: sustainable energy, quantum information, and extreme environments. Our approach to discovering new materials is based on a feedback loop between DFT computations, chemical synthesis, and physical measurements. We use nearly all available solid-state tools to grow crystals of new quantum materials. The lab is equipped with state-of-the-art instruments for quantum transport and magnetization measurements under extreme conditions, such as ultrahigh pressures and low temperatures. We frequently visit national labs for high-field measurements as well as x-ray and neutron scattering experiments. The Tafti Lab is an inclusive group that welcomes diversity in a friendly and collaborative research environment.
