Dr. Alexander Balandin, UC Riverside
balandin@ece.ucr.edu
(951) 827-2351
http://ndl.ee.ucr.edu/
Dr. Balandin's research is in phonon engineering and thermal conductivity in nanostructures. In particular, he works on the Raman spectroscopy and thermal conductivity measurements. He also works on the theoretical modeling of phonon thermal conductivity in nanostructured materials and devices.
Dr. Igor Barsukov, UC Riverside
igor.barsukov@ucr.edu
(951) 827-5343
https://barsukov.ucr.edu/
Dr. Barsukov's group work in the field of experimental condensed matter physics with a focus on spintronics. We design and probe magnetic nanoscale heterosructures and devices. Employing spectroscopic methods in the regimes of low frequecies, microwave and terahertz frequencies, we study spin dynamics and spin transport.
Dr.Chia-Ling Chien, John Hopkins University
clc@pha.jhu.edu
(410) 516-8092
http://sites.krieger.jhu.edu/chienlab/
Dr. Chien pieoneered in discovering the spin Seebeck effect in structures free from the magnetic proximity effect. He also demonstrated the inverse spin Hall effect in magnetic metals, which opens a door for high-efficient spin current detection in spintronic devices.
Dr. Allan MacDonald, UT, Austin
