The interplay among electrons, phonons, photons, and impurities in materials plays a critical role in determining various material properties. His experimental research focuses on developing approaches of tuning this interplay in order to achieve an integrated control over material properties. In particular, his group is interested in materials with dimensions on the nanometer scale. Currently, we are studying van der Waals ferroelectric materials. These materials have several advantages over conventional ferroelectrics, such as robust ferroelectricity down to monolayer thickness level ad interlinked in-plane and out-of-plane polarizations. These advantages can unlock opportunities in exploring novel device technologies including neuromorphic computing that can mimic brain functions.
