contents Quantum criticality is a hallmark of strongly correlated electron systems, as seen in heavy-fermion materials and high-temperature superconductors. Holographic duality provides a powerful framework to investigate these systems by translating them into weakly coupled classical gravity living in one higher dimension. Here, we harness this approach to study a field-induced quantum critical point with dynamical exponent $z=3$ in Einstein-Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory. Our analysis of its thermodynamic properties reveals a new universality class. Notably, we identify a diverging Grüneisen ratio with universal scaling $\sim T^{-2/3}$, a behavior that closely mirrors recent experiments on the heavy-fermion material CeRh$_6$Ge$_4$. These findings advance our understanding of metallic quantum criticality and highlight the potential of holographic duality as a tool for studying correlated quantum matters.
