We specialize in:
Part of the widespread interest in nanometer-sized systems is motivated by their capability to combine and hybridize mechanical and electronic properties of materials at the nanoscale.
The long term goals of our research are to understand at a fundamental level, and harness into applications, the interplays of structure, electronic degrees of freedom, and correlated electronic phases in nano and mesoscopic systems.
Three specific projects on which we are currently working are: (1) Quantum electronic properties of nanosystems under strain, (2) Heat transport in graphene (relativistic-like electrons), (3) Nano-electro-mechanical sensors (NEMS) based on carbon nanotubes and graphene.
Interested in taking a course with me?
I am currently (Winter 2009) teaching 'Electricity and Magnetism' (PHYS 205) which is a calculus based introductory class on electricity and magnetism.
Next year (Winter 2010) I will teach 'Solid State Physics' (PHYS 358) which will cover: crystals, crystal vibrations (phonons), electron transport in metals and semiconductors, and a few modern topics in nanoelectronics.
