Room temperature STM

Research Overview

My research interests have been in the area of experimental condensed matter physics, ranging from superfluidity and superconductivity to room tempature scanned probe microscopy.

Current interests are in investigating the potential of room temperature scanned probe microscopy (STM and AFM) as a tool to study electromigration (electric current- and field- induced movement of material) in thin films at small length scales. I also work on development of lab exercises/experiments for the full range of our laboratory courses.
