Chandni U
Research Interests
Chandni’s group studies electron transport in a variety of low dimensional semiconductor and metallic systems. Of particular interest are two-dimensional electron systems in graphene and other layered materials, van der Waals heterostructures and ultrathin metallic wires. The approach combines unique nanofabrication techniques with electrical transport, tunneling spectroscopy, measurements at low temperatures and high magnetic fields. Other research interests include piezotronics and sensing using two dimensional materials and heterostructures.
