About

I am interested in a wide range of quantum physics and material science questions at the forefront of science. My research explores the synergy between two endeavors. The first is exploring new physical phenomena and measuring fundamental properties of materials. The second is synthesizing new materials and modifying them for desirable properties. The synergy lies in the constant feedback between these two endeavors.I am also involved in synthesizing ultra-thin semiconducting and exotic materials for new applications in electronics.
