My major is theoretical condensed matter physics, and I am especially interested in the various properties of two-dimensional materials. You may have heard of a solid state called a quasicrystal.
A quasicrystal does not have a periodic structure like a crystal, but it still has an ordered arrangement. Because of this, it is called the “third form of solid” and is studied for its unique physical properties.
In recent years, researchers have found that quasicrystals can be artificially created by incommensurately stacking two-dimensional materials. This has opened up a new and controllable platform for exploring novel physical properties.
However, most theories in condensed matter physics are built on the assumption of crystal periodicity. This makes it difficult to apply them to quasicrystals, which lack such periodicity.
My research aims to build a new theoretical framework that does not rely on crystal periodicity. I then apply this framework to twist-stacked quasicrystals, including 30-degree twisted bilayer graphene, in order to clarify their unique physical properties.

I have loved playing games since I was a child. The genres I play most often are RPGs and Metroidvania, but I enjoy many different types of games. I especially love pixel art. So if you have any recommendations, please let me know!
