Sandhya Susarla
Assistant Professor
Materials Science and Engineering
Research Interests
The interplay between spin, charge, lattice, and orbital degrees of freedom drive novel electronic and magnetic behavior in low-power microelectronic devices and quantum computers. Susarla group uses state-of-the-art analytical electron microscopy tools (4D-STEM and EELS) to unravel this relationship at the atomic scale.
