Research Summary
Mengxing’s research area is theory and phenomenology in correlated electron systems. Her recent research interests include 1) non-equilibrium dynamics and control in quantum materials, such as Van der Waals heterostructure and quantum magnets, 2) non-Fermi liquid and quantum criticality, 3) correlated phases and responses in narrow band systems. Her research involves studying the interplay between symmetry, correlation and topology in various types of quantum crystals.
