We conduct research in the areas of experimental condensed matter physics, materials science & engineering, and applied physics. Our current research focus is to grow and characterize superconducting cuprate thin films and heterostructures and Josephson junction devices, which are key elements of superconducting nanoelectronic devices for various applications, including medical imaging, quantum computing, national defense, and deep space-related applications. The following video clip describes the cutting-edge pulsed laser-based thin film deposition technique that we employ to grow our thin films.
