Our research is strongly based on the understanding and engineering of symmetries in quantum matter. We aim to unlock loopholes that allow for novel and unconventional phases of matter, which can potentially be useful for quantum technologies. We are strongly inspired by solid-state systems but have also delved into cold atomic systems and, most recently, out-of-equilibrium problems.

We primarily address systems containing multiple internal degrees of freedom (such as orbitals, sublattices, and valleys in solid-state systems) and construct symmetry-based effective models to uncover mechanisms to stabilize exotic phases of matter not naturally present in simpler systems. We aim to find new pathways to enhance the critical temperature of superconductors, propose new types of functional materials hosting multiple intertwined order parameters, and describe novel classes of quantum critical behavior.
