Quantum Textured Materials
Designing and understanding quantum materials using structure from the atomic scale to the device scale
About
We aspire to control emergent electronic phenomena by designing quantum materials and devices wholistically across scales. We use a combination of low temperature scanning probe techniques combined with electronic transport to map out electronic and magnetic properties throughout devices.
The lab is moving from Barnard College to The City College of New York in fall 2026.
