We are a condensed matter research group located in Birge Hall on the UC Berkeley campus. Using scanning probe microscopy, we investigate the electronic and magnetic properties of various nano-structures. Current fields of research include carbon nanostructures, photovotaics, magnetic nano-structures, and molecular machines. Follow the links under research for more information on these projects.
