The research in our group focuses on the study of quantum materials which exhibit unusual electronic and spintronic properties on the nanoscale. We employ a variety of techniques, including a unique scanning Microwave Impedance Microscopy (MIM) that is capable of spatially resolving materials’ electrical properties (conductivity and dielectric constant), as well as nanofabrication and quantum transport, to discover emergent electronic phenomena in quantum materials and understand the underlying physics. Currently we are investigating various low dimensional electronic systems such as atomically thin 2D materials, and materials interfaces like boundaries, domain walls, and hetero-structures. We are particularly interested in study of topological phenomena in such 2D systems and also identification of new types of interface electronic states. We also have an interest in developing advanced electrical characterization techniques that will enhance our capabilities to probe these materials.
