Alexandre Champagne is a Professor of Physics at Concordia University specializing in experimental quantum transport in low-dimensional materials. His research focuses on nanoscale phenomena in graphene, carbon nanotubes, and silicon nanowires, with significant contributions to quantum electronics and nanomechanical systems.
His academic background includes:
- B.Sc. in Physics from McGill University
- Ph.D. in Physics from Cornell University
- Post-doctoral Scholar at the California Institute of Technology
Champagne's research investigates quantum transport mechanisms, thermal-electrical coupling, and mechanical properties in 2D/1D materials. Key areas include graphene-based quantum transistors, carbon nanotube NEMS, and bilayer electron systems. His experimental work combines nanofabrication techniques with precision measurements of electron and heat transport at cryogenic temperatures.
His publication record (2003-2019) reveals consistent innovation in quantum device physics, particularly in strain-engineered graphene transistors, thermal-transistor effects, and Kondo physics in molecular junctions. The work demonstrates strong interdisciplinary connections between condensed matter physics, materials science, and nanoelectronics, with multiple publications featured in Science and Nature Nanotechnology.
As an active thesis supervisor accepting new students, Champagne leads the Champagne Research Group at Concordia University. His laboratory develops novel nanoscale measurement techniques including stencil lithography for scanning sensors and mechanically adjustable molecular transistors, maintaining strong experimental focus on quantum phenomena in engineered nanostructures.
