Diego Garcia Ovalle

Themes

My research area arises on

- Unconventional responses of quantum materials and heterostructures.

- Quantum transport and optical properties of topological materials.

Recherche

My current research is mainly focused on two topics:

- Higher orders Hall Effects beyond the Berry curvature physics.

- Nonlinear optical effects and high harmonic generation in solids.
