In the Eley Quantum Materials Group, Eley researches the role of disorder on electronic and magnetic properties of quantum materials and devices, including the vortex-defect interactions in superconductors, skyrmion-defect interactions in magnetic materials, and the effects of material microstructure on energy loss in superconducting circuits.
Juan Carlos Idrobo is an Associate Professor in the Materials Science & Engineering Department. His research consists in applying analytical techniques in electron spectroscopy within monochromated and aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy to study the structure, electronic, magnetic, thermal, optical and topological properties of materials.
Stefan Stoll is a Professor and the Associate Chair of Research in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Washington. The Stoll Research Group's primary focus is advanced Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, a set of techniques that allows us to measure molecules with unpaired electrons such as organic radicals and transition metal ions and learn about their structure and nano-environment. As part of MEM-C, the Stoll group works within IRG-1 on characterizing the spin decoherence dynamics of qubit candidates in oxide materials and metal-organic frameworks and on guiding the design of spin qubits with properties suitable for quantum applications.
Arthur Barnard is an Assistant Professor of Physics and Materials Science and Engineering leading an experimental research group that builds and implements novel scanning probe techniques to investigate 2D quantum materials and nanomechanical systems. With these tools, the Barnard lab electrically and optically measures 2D quantum materials devices while tuning their properties via in situ modifications of twist angle, shear deformation and electrostatic screening.
Dianne Xiao is a Professor of Chemistry. The overarching goal of research in the Xiao group is to endow porous materials with the enhanced reactivity and physical properties needed to meet rising global challenges in clean energy and sustainability. In the context of MEM-C, a particular area of interest is the synthesis of nanoscale metal–organic frameworks for quantum information science applications.
Ting Cao is an Assistant Professor of Materials Science & Engineering and the UW Associate Vice Provost for Research Cyberinfrastructure. MEM-C research in the Cao group primary focuses on the electronic structures, excited-state properties, and light-matter interactions of one- and two-dimensional material systems.
Matt Yankowitz is an Assistant Professor of Physics at the University of Washington, with a joint appointment in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. Research in his group focuses on the investigation of topology, correlations, magnetism, and symmetry in two-dimensional quantum materials. His group primarily characterizes atomically-thin van der Waals materials and heterostructures using a combination of electrical transport and scanning probe microscopy.
Lilo Pozzo is a Professor of Chemical Engineering at the University of Washington. Research in the Pozzo laboratory focuses on understanding, manipulating and controlling structure and properties of soft materials including polymers, colloids and nanomaterials. The Pozzo laboratory develops and applies advanced scattering techniques (x-ray, light and neutrons) as well as high-throughput experimentation and data-science enabled materials research tools to unravel the fundamental relationships that exist between structure and properties for soft matter systems of relevance to numerous engineering applications.
