What do we do?

Understanding the relationship between different fundamental degrees of freedom such as spin, charge, lattice, and orbital plays a crucial role in the development of low-power microelectronic devices, quantum computers, and data storage. In our group, we understand this relationship using state-of-the-art electron microscopy tools. We specialize in measuring physical properties such as excitons, polarization, and strain at low temperatures. Apart from the materials property measurement, we are also involved in technique development using machine learning algorithms.

We work on three focus areas:

1. Cryogenic electron energy loss spectroscopy (excitons, phonons)
2. Quantitative scanning transmission electron microscopy (4D-STEM)
3. Automated core-loss electron energy loss spectroscopy using multiplet calculations and ML/AI
