Research in the Lab
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.

Dr. Hom Kandel heads the Applied Physics Laboratory, and his passion for sharing knowledge encourages student involvement for all of his projects. Through his patience and passion for teaching, he has been able to mentor many graduate and undergraduate students over the years, which has proven integral for making the Applied Physics Laboratory as successful as it is today.
Dr. Kandel received "2021 CRCA Excellence in Research Award" from Chancellor Ford.

Our research would not be possible without our collaborators at the Oxide Lab of the University of Wisconsin Madison and the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor. It is with this collaboration of equipment and minds that our research has progressed as quickly and as effectively as it has.

Research Showcases
Our research has been presented on many occasions, including the annual UWP-Student Research Showcase, Poster Presentation events in Madison, and even the Research at the Rotunda event in the State Capitol Building. These events have proven to be important for exposing students to the professional world, and have also been integral for finding new collaborators through networking.
