Laisi and Amy’s preprint on van der Waals molded growth of ultrathin bismuth crystals has been recommended by the Journal Club for Condensed Matter Physics with commentary written by Joe Checkelsky.

Our lab is joining the MIT-led Center for Enhanced Nanofluidic Transport – a DOE Energy Frontiers Research Center .  We will receive four years of funding to study nanofluidic transport through nanopores in van der Waals materials in collaboration with Zuzanna Siwy at UC Irvine and other members of the center.

Congratulations to graduate students Laisi Chen and Amy Wu on their first paper being published to arxiv. Read it here:

Our lab has been awarded a two year seed grant from the AFOSR Condensed Matter Physics Program to study the electronic properties of ultrathin bismuth.

Prof. Javier Sanchez-Yamagishi has received the NSF Career Award for the proposal “CAREER: Manipulating Topology and Correlations in 2D Heterostructures by Dynamic Structural Control”.  This five year grant will fund a new project using our newly developed capabilities to dynamically modify moire heterostructures.

As of February 2020 we have officially moved into our brand NEW Lab!   Special thanks to Rich Fruchey and the UCI Physical Sciences Facilities team for making this all possible!

Now it’s time to fill it up with stuff!

Flashback to March 2018 – when it was all just a dream!

Welcome to our new website.

JDSY Lab comes online Fall 2018!
