Electronic and optical physics of nanoscale solid-state systems, physics of 2D materials and spin systems
Professor of Physics and Optical Sciences
Office of Research and Partnerships, Faculty Fellow for Quantum
My research is focused on the discovery and understanding of novel electronic, optical and quantum effects in low dimensional solid state systems, and their applications to quantum and optical technology. I am currently focused on optoelectronic and spin physics of 2D material semiconductor systems, specifically monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), and 2D heterostructure devices, where we use the unique properties of disparate materials (TMD, graphene and hexagonal boron nitride) layered together, to study the physics of atomically sharp material junctions. I am also working on III-V quantum dots for quantum light sources.
