Madison, Wisconsin, United States
Experimental materials scientist who focuses on cradle-to-grave processing of materials, both in bulk and in 2D - controlling the growth, heterostructure stacking, and fabrication processes in order to yield consistent and higher than otherwise possible quality results. This may then be used to yield interesting quantum phenomena in magnetotransport studies which are typically destroyed by disorder. Synthesis efforts routinely involve handling a variety of elements that span the periodic table and sealing under inert conditions, with the overall goal of producing novel layered materials.
