Summary.Worked at university (9 years as a regular faculty, 4 as a visiting scientist, and 10 as an Adjunct Professor), industrial research centers (13 years), and National Laboratory (20). Chaired a large university physics department, was the CTO of a start-up company, and is currently a Group Leader at BNL and Adjunct Professor at Yale. Published over 300 refereed research papers, edited 11 monographs, and presented over 300 invited conference talks and colloquia. (Co)chaired 26 international conferences or symposia.

Research Interests

(1) Basic physics of condensed states of matter; (2) novel electronic properties including unconventional metallic conductivity, magnetoresistance, and superconductivity; (3) innovative methods of thin film synthesis and characterization; (4) mesoscopic (nano-scale) physics; (5) discovery and study of novel quantum materials.

Research Experience

Experimental techniques: ultra-high vacuum; cryogenics; thin film synthesis (by molecular beam epitaxy, laser ablation, electron-beam evaporation, and sputtering), X-ray diffraction; optical spectroscopy (far-IR to UV, Raman, spectro-ellipsometry), ion scattering spectroscopy, transport measurements, device design, and testing. Theory: group theory, electron band structure, optical spectra, phonon spectra, vibronic coupling, numerical simulations of RHEED and XRD patterns and surface structure, cohesion, and structure of ionic crystals. Materials studied so far: conducting polymers (polyacetylene, poly-p-phenylene, polypyrrole, carbon nanotubes, cuprates, bismuthates, titanates, manganites, cobaltates, nickelates, tungstates, vanadates, ruthenates, borophene, Beryllene, VSe2, Fe(Se,Te), hydrides.
