Our lab investigates electronic phases in ultrathin van der Waals (vdW) crystals, focusing on the roles of electron interactions, topology, and magnetism. We pair novel cryogenic scanning probe microscopy with innovative device fabrication to uncover and tune emergent phases at the nanometer scale.

Our microscope will enable us to manipulate vdW interfaces in real time through lateral scanning, twist-angle control, and adjustable interfacial pressure, while simultaneously performing electronic tunneling measurements. These capabilities open new routes to visualize 2D quantum matter in both real and momentum space.
