This page is for students considering joining the lab. It describes what we work on, what you would learn here, and how admission and funding work. Please read it before writing to me.
We study non-equilibrium electronic systems — the regime in which fluctuation, discreteness and dynamics, rather than averaged quantities, govern how a device behaves. Our central experimental tool is room-temperature single-electron measurement: by reducing a current until electrons pass one at a time, we can observe and control electron motion directly, and test non-equilibrium physics in a real device rather than only on paper. Current projects are described on the Research page.
Most groups working on non-equilibrium phenomena approach them from theory. Here you carry a problem through the entire chain yourself:
Underpinning all of it is the physics you need in order to read your own results: semiconductor device engineering for understanding transistors, together with statistical mechanics and thermodynamics.
Two things are worth knowing before you write to me.
