Research directions
- 1D carbon nanotubes: electronic, optical, transport and contact physics of nanotubes and nanotube assemblies.
- 2D and van der Waals materials: excitons, charge transport, interfaces, defects and emergent properties in atomically thin materials.
- Quantum and nanoelectronics: theory and modeling for transistors, photodetectors, nanoscale emitters and quantum technologies.
Methods
We combine density functional theory, model Hamiltonians, and semiclassical and quantum transport approaches for electrons and phonons to connect fundamental theory with device-relevant predictions.
