Our research
In the Disa Lab, we seek to harness the power of quantum materials to enable breakthroughs for energy, electronics, and computation. Our highly interdisciplinary research lives at the intersection of materials physics, nonlinear optics, nanotechnology, and quantum science. Some of the major themes of our lab include: studying electronic and structural dynamics, engineering light-matter interactions, and designing new non-equilibrium functionalities in quantum materials using light. To accomplish our goal, we develop cutting-edge optical tools to explore the behavior of matter on ultrafast timescales (~10-15 seconds) and fabricate artificial materials one atomic layer at at time.
Meet the team
The work in the Disa Lab is made possible by the dedicated effort of our energetic and diverse group of researchers. We are made up of graduate students, postdoctoral scientists, and undergraduates from all over the map working together to push the boundaries of science and “illuminate” the path to groundbreaking discoveries.
