About Me
Since joining the Abrikosov Center for Theoretical Physics in September 2023, I have been investigating novel quantum phenomena in twisted van der Waals heterostructures,
where interfacial moiré superlattices give rise to remarkable electronic properties. My research focuses on twistronics—an exciting field that utilizes the relative twist angle between atomically thin layers as a fundamental control parameter to engineer exotic quantum states.
By precisely tuning the twist angle and filling factor, we can access and manipulate strongly correlated phases, such as superconductivity in twisted graphene and WSe2 bilayers,
as well as interfacial ferroelectricity in transition metal dichalcogenide bilayers .
Twistronics offers young scientists an exciting opportunity to learn both modern theoretical physics approaches and programming skills while exploring a rich playground for novel discoveries.
To introduce into van der Waals materials I read a special course "Fundamentals of nanoelectronics and van der Waals materials" for master students of MIPT.

Projects
2024-2027, Russian Science Foundation
''Ferro- and piezo-electric properties of van der Waals materials hosting interfacial moiré superlattice''
The project is devoted to theoretical and experimental study of lattice relaxation, vibrational modes, and electronic properties in twisted bilayers of semiconductor transition metal dichalcogenides (MX2, M=Mo/W, X=S/Se). Key goals include developing a theory of mechanical vibrations in dislocation networks, studying ferroelectricity in MX2 bilayers, and examining graphene/MX2 heterostructures to assess piezocharge-induced electronic effects. The work aims to advance twistronics for future electronics and sensor applications.
