Sambandamurthy Ganapathy is a physicist who can speak to the media about nanoscale materials and devices and how they relate to cutting-edge phenomena like superconductivity and resistive switching.
His experimental research group, which uses advanced nanofabrication techniques, designs and develops devices smaller than one micrometer that can explore the fundamental, microscopic mechanisms that dictate physical properties.
Ganapathy’s research examines electron transport in semiconductors and other atomic layers under ultra-low temperatures, high magnetic fields and other extreme physical conditions. It also investigates metal-insulator transitions, neuromorphic computing and superconductor-insulator transitions.
This work strives to unlock hidden quantum phenomena in novel states of matter which manifest when subatomic particles interact.
