about me

Martin Lee PhD. 

(He/Him)

I am an experimental physicist exploring the electronic, thermal and mechanical properties of novel 2D materials. My PhD (Applied Physics, TU Delft) was on the nanomechanics of 2D materials & complex oxides to study their electro-thermo-mechanical properties at cryogenic temperatures and to develop the next-gen sensors out of them. Currently, I am a Postdoctoral researcher at the chair of Solid State Physics in LMU Munich, studying the low temperature electron transport in low dimensional quantum systems such as twisted bilayer graphene, WTe2, etc.

My long term goal is to lead my own group in experimental condensed matter physics, which will focus on the mechanical tuning (related to my PhD) of quantum properties in low dimensional systems such as 2D materials and free-standing complex oxides, while probing the properties by magnetotransport in cryogenic temperatures (related to my Postdoc).



Personal stuff

I love dogs over cats, whisky over whiskey, light roast coffee over dark roast coffee and powerlifting over bodybuilding. But cats are still awesome. 


I love networking, sharing my experience, discussing science and learning new things in physics - all this while being an extreme introvert. Undergoing 30+ years of practicing social interactions definitely helped me overcome social anxiety.


I enjoy scientific illustration using Blender. See my Gallery page
