I am a graduate student working on topological quantum materials using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). My research focuses on the relationship between crystal symmetry, topology, and nonequilibrium electronic states. During my master’s studies, I investigated symmetry-protected topological electronic structures, particularly nodal-line states, by combining ARPES measurements with theoretical calculations.Currently, I am extending this research toward nonequilibrium phenomena using time- and spin-resolved ARPES (Tr-SARPES). My recent interests include the optical control of symmetry, topology, and spin textures in quantum materials under ultrafast light excitation. Through these studies, I aim to clarify how light-induced symmetry manipulation can dynamically modify topological properties and electronic structures. At WPI-SKCM2, I am interested in exploring emergent quantum phenomena in chiral and topological materials and contributing to the development of ultrafast spectroscopic approaches for nonequilibrium condensed matter physics.
