معرفی
Dr. Monica Allen is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of California, San Diego, leading a research group in experimental condensed matter physics. Her group combines scanning probe microscopy with electronic transport measurements to investigate quantum materials and develop emerging quantum technologies, including next-generation computing platforms. Research includes nanoscale microwave imaging at millikelvin temperatures, topological state visualization, and quantum device engineering using van der Waals heterostructures.
Current projects focus on: 1) Microwave impedance microscopy for topological edge state detection and domain wall conduction; 2) Moiré engineering for correlated electron systems and flat band physics; 3) Quantum nanomechanical devices using suspended 2D materials. Recent publications (2019-2023) demonstrate advancements in Chern insulator characterization, moiré crystal manipulation, and ultra-low temperature microscopy techniques. The laboratory operates a dry dilution refrigerator enabling measurements down to 50 mK.
