My research is conducted at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Switzerland. I work with data collected at the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment, which is one of the two large general-purpose detectors at the LHC, the other being ATLAS. The CMS Collaboration has now collected 130 inverse fentobarns of data at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. After the initial observation of the Higgs boson in 2012 my group has concentrated on measuring…

Associate Professor, School of Physics and Astronomy
Our lab employs and further develops modern biophysical techniques to study cellular processes with high precision and detail.
Living cells have the remarkable ability to sense environmental signals such as physical force or small molecules. This information is processed by intracellular signaling networks, which allow a cell to respond to the stimulus. Our research at the intersection of physics and biology aims to understand how these cellular…

Pryke is an experimental cosmologist and educator. His research currently centers on the cosmic microwave background (CMB) - the after glow from early times when the Universe was a smooth hot plasma. By studying the CMB we can learn much about the origin, contents and ultimate fate of the Universe - CMB studies are at the center of the current "golden age" of cosmology. Pryke has…
Associate Professor, School of Physics and Astronomy
The Pribiag group's research applies innovative nanofabrication and low-temperature measurement techniques to uncover the electronic properties of new low-dimensional material systems. Our work is driven both by the potential to uncover fundamental properties of quantum materials and by the desire to develop quantum devices with emergent physical properties that…

My research is in the field of theoretical condensed matter physics. My goal is to understand properties of materials from fundamental microscopic basis. I am particularly interested in all kinds of phenomena observed in magnetic materials. In my work, I focus on developing and analyzing microscopic models of electronic systems with strong interplay between charge, spin, and orbital degrees of freedom, and geometric frustration. In particular, I am…

Our research focuses on experimental studies of quantum transport phenomena in semiconductor quantum structures, including GaAs/AlGaAs, Ge/SiGe, and MgZnO/ZnO heterostructures, and graphene.
One direction is on non-equilibrium phehomena which emerge when the system placed in a perpendicular magnetic field is driven by microwave radiation or dc electric fields.…

My field of study is experimental condensed matter physics, with a research focus on studying novel quantum physics in gate-defined nanostructures on 2D Van der Waals materials.
Electronic properties of solids can undergo dramatic change when the material thickness is reduced to the atomic limit. Notably, even the band structures of mono-layers and bi-layers can be distinctively different in both graphene and transition metal dichalcogenide. The…
