Nemin Wei’s research interest is the quantum physics of many interacting electrons. He has been working on strongly correlated low-dimensional quantum materials, especially the moire superstructures formed by stacking layers of atomically thin van der Waals materials with a small mismatch in the lattice periodicity. The synthetic moire systems could have highly tunable electronic structures and host a variety of unconventional magnetic, superconducting, and topological phases. He is currently exploring novel experimental signatures of these interaction-driven phases.
