Professor

Research Interests:

Our group focuses on the growth of thin films and heterostructures of quantum materials using one-atom-at-a-time. We employ novel hybrid molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) method to do this. Our interests are in the various areas of materials science, materials chemistry & physics: the synthesis of quantum materials with atomic layer control over thickness and composition to understand, and control the interplay between lattice, charge and spin degree of freedom and their coupling to the…

Biomedical Engineering

Assistant Professor, Department of Biomedical Engineering

Research Interests:

Pregnancy stands at the interface of mechanics and biology. The Pregnancy Research & Engineering Group focuses on understanding how soft tissues grow, remodel, and adapt during pregnancy. Specifically, we are interested in how hormonal and mechanical signaling interact to drive this critical process to support a healthy pregnancy. We use a combination of experimental and computational approaches from biomechanics and computational systems biology to understand these interactions.

Physics

Professor, School of Physics and Astronomy

Research Interests:

My area of expertise is in experimental high energy physics with experience in both hadron collider and neutrino oscillation physics. Most recently, I have been fascinated by the neutrino sector of particle physics. Although the existence of these particles has been known for many decades, much is still unknown about them. What is the ordering of the neutrinos? Is there CP-violation in the lepton sector? Are neutrinos responsible for leptogenesis? Can neutrinos lead to a discovery of physics…
