Under Construction

paulmneves.com is still a work in progress. Things will eventually look better, but in the mean time, below I have included some important links.

About Me

I am a PhD student at MIT in Prof. Joe Checkelsky's experimental condensed matter physics group where we study quamtum materials. You can find my CV here. Currently, I am studying electronic flat bands in intermetalic model lattice systems.

For the last three years, I have worked under the advisorship of Prof. Nicholas Butch at the University of Maryland's Center for Nanophysics and Advanced Materials (CNAM) and the NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR). My two primary projects were the design and construction of a novel in-situ AC susceptometer for neutron scattering experiments under pressure, and the investigation of chemical substitution on the magnetic skyrmion phase in powdered Cu2OSeO3.
