Join the lab

Opportunities for students and collaborators interested in functional materials, magnetism, scattering, and instrumentation.

Students

The lab is a good fit for students who want to build things, measure things carefully, and understand the physics behind functional materials. Projects often involve a mixture of synthesis, measurement, scattering, microscopy, coding, and data interpretation.

Undergraduate researchers

Undergraduates can contribute to instrumentation, materials synthesis, measurement, coding, outreach, and senior design. Prior experience is helpful but not required; curiosity and reliability matter most.

Graduate students

Graduate projects are available across nanomagnetism, neutron scattering, complex materials, topological interfaces, and nanowire metamaterials. Students typically develop both experimental and analytical depth.

Collaborators

The group frequently collaborates with researchers who need magnetism, scattering, thin-film, or functional-materials expertise to answer a broader scientific question.

Contact

Prospective students should send a short email describing their background, research interests, and what part of the lab portfolio interests them.
