Erik Henriksen

Erik Henriksen is Associate Professor of Physics and Associate Director of IMSE Facilities at Washington University in St. Louis. His experimental research investigates quantum phenomena in 2D materials using nanofabrication techniques combined with low-temperature, high-magnetic-field measurements.

Research examines:

• Topological electronic phases in graphene
• Quantum spin liquids
• Infrared spectroscopy of relativistic electrons

Laboratory capabilities include custom device fabrication using atomically-thin materials, with experiments conducted at temperatures near absolute zero. Henriksen received his PhD from Columbia University and completed postdoctoral work at Caltech before joining Washington University.
