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 on ultrafast timescales (~10-15 seconds), engineering light-matter interactions, and designing new non-equilibrium functionalities using light. To accomplish our goal, we develop new optical tools to study the dynamics of matter on ultrafast timescales (~10-15 second) 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 an energetic and diverse group of researchers. We are made up of graduate students, postdoctoral scientists, undergraduates from all over the map working together to push the boundaries of science and “illuminate” the path to a better future.
