Electrical Magnetic Optical Properties

Jerrold Floro's research is to investigate and exploit nanoscale self-assembly and pattern formation in inorganic materials, to enhance properties and develop material functionality. Techniques include vapor phase thin film growth, laser processing, melting and rapid solidification, powder processing, and solid-state phase transformations.

Ihlefeld is a Professor in the Materials Science and Engineering and Electrical and Computer Engineering Departments at the University of Virginia. His group studies the process-structure-property relations in ferroelectric, dielectric, and ion-conducting oxides and nitrides and uses this fundamental knowledge to improve material performance.

Kyusang Lee is currently an Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering departments at University of Virginia. He received his B.S. degree from Korea University in 2005, M.S. degree from Johns Hopkins University in 2009, and Ph.D. degree from University of Michigan in 2014, all in Electrical Engi

Stephen McDonnell’s current research interests are centered interfaces relevant to next generation nanoelectronics devices.

Joseph Poon's research group focuses on three projects: i) Study of thermoelectric properties of semiconductors and semimetals ii) Synthesis of thin films study of ferrimagnetic and antiferromagnetic heterostructures that show skyrmionic state and anomalous Hall effect. iii) Study of high-entropy alloys (HEAs) with properties in  composition space.

Petra Reinke’s research interests include nanoelectronics and 2-D materials, corrosion and electrochemical sciences and engineering, surface and interface science and engineering, materials characterization, nanomaterials and nanomanufacturing, and catalysis.
