Professor Shabani's research focuses on quantum materials and devices for computation technologies. His primary interests include novel states of matter at interfaces with emphasis on hybrid superconductor-semiconductor systems, mesoscopic and nanoscale physics with focus on low dimensional semiconductors, physics of integer and fractional quantum Hall effect, and epitaxial growth of compound superconducting metals-semiconductor using molecular beam epitaxy. His work bridges fundamental quantum phenomena with practical quantum information applications.
Analysis of his recent publications reveals a strong emphasis on topological quantum computing platforms, particularly through the development of planar Josephson junctions and superconductor-semiconductor heterostructures. His research group has made significant contributions to understanding the superconducting diode effect, microwave spectroscopy of Andreev bound states, and the realization of voltage-tunable qubit architectures. The integration of machine learning techniques for materials optimization represents an emerging interdisciplinary direction in his work.
Professor Shabani has received prestigious recognition including the US Air Force Young Investigator award and US Army Young Investigator award, both in 2016.

His laboratory actively mentors graduate and undergraduate students while pursuing cutting-edge research in quantum materials growth, device fabrication, and low-temperature characterization. The Shabani Lab maintains strong industry and academic collaborations, particularly with Microsoft Research, to advance quantum computing technologies. Current research directions include optimizing planar topological qubit architectures and developing novel quantum sensing techniques using epitaxial heterostructures.
The Shabani Lab operates from Room 1071 at 726 Broadway, New York, NY, utilizing advanced molecular beam epitaxy systems for materials growth and state-of-the-art nanofabrication facilities for quantum device development. The group employs DC and RF low-temperature measurements to characterize quantum devices, creating a closed-loop development process for optimizing quantum materials systems.
