Research
Research Area: Solid-State Devices and Nanotechnology
Co-Advisors: Prof. Edgar Meyhöfer & Prof. Pramod Sangi-Reddy
Research Project: Audrey-Rose’s research group does some work involving special properties of electromagnetic fields when two objects become extremely close (one human hair could not be slipped between them!) These special properties affect the way heat and attractive forces impact devices closely spaced on computer chips, and they might even be useful to make a new type of device based on those properties one day. Her topic is bringing 2-dimensional materials into these studies, so the objects she is measuring the properties of are only one atom thick!
“I love understanding how individual physical phenomena much too small for us to see can have a big impact when taken all together!”
