Laboratory Research
We use surface chemistry to develop systems that allow us to image the behavior of atoms and molecules at the nanoscale. Detailed analysis of these images provides insights into how fundamental interactions at material surfaces can be leveraged for future technological advances.
Areas of Expertise
