We study the complex physics that emerges from the interplay of charge, spin, and orbital degrees of freedom in correlated systems. Our work employs Vibrating Sample Magnetometry (VSM), torque and resonant torsion magnetometry, and transport measurements under extreme conditions of temperature, pressure, and magnetic field. These experiments are performed using advanced facilities at NUST and in collaboration with research partners in South Korea, China, and Austria

We develop analytical and phenomenological models based on real physical systems to interpret experimental observations. Our models incorporate symmetry constraints and group-theoretic principles to capture material-specific behavior, allowing us to explain complex phenomena and predict new emergent properties.

We synthesize and modify magnetic nanoparticles to evaluate their potential for biomedical applications, such as magnetic hyperthermia and MRI contrast agents. By tuning particle size, structure, and Curie temperature, we optimize the magnetothermal response within the therapeutic range, advancing their applicability for diagnosis and therapy.

Research Tools
Our research makes use of a range of experimental and theoretical tools to probe the properties of quantum and condensed matter systems. Experimentally, we employ techniques such as Vibrating Sample Magnetometry (VSM), torque and resonant torsion magnetometry, and electrical transport measurements under extreme conditions of temperature, pressure, and magnetic field. These methods allow us to explore magnetic, thermal, and electronic responses in materials with high precision. In addition, we develop phenomenological models and analytical approaches based on symmetry and group theory, and we use computational methods to interpret and predict material behavior. Together, these tools provide a comprehensive framework for understanding quantum materials at both fundamental and applied levels.
