Seeing how electrons organize themselves.

I build scanning probes that image electronic states directly, and use them to study how interactions reshape electrons in two-dimensional materials and quantum devices.

Imaging interacting electrons in quantum devices

A device architecture that combines local electrostatic control with STM imaging, used to see interaction-driven structure in quantum Hall edges and in tunable quantum dots.

Local thermodynamics of correlated states in moiré materials

Scanning single-electron transistors as local thermodynamic probes of magic-angle graphene and moiré semiconductors — chemical potential, gaps and charge order, measured point by point.

Building new scanning probes

Cryogen-free dilution refrigerators, scanning SET tips, quantum twisting microscopy and multi-probe experiments — instruments built to make measurements that were not previously possible.
