We investigate fundamental properties and coupled emergent phenomena of low-dimensional materials and their surfaces/interfaces — to guide novel strategies for the self-assembly, integration, and nano-manufacturing of quantum-scale components and functional systems.

surface and interface phenomena

understanding the interactions and phenomena that arise at surfaces and interfaces

mechanically-coupled emergent properties

exploring tunable emergent properties arising from mechanical coupling

ångström-precise self-assembly

driving self-assembly at scale with ångström-level precision

low-dimensional quantum materials and components

building robust architectures via low-dimensional quantum materials and components
