Morteza Kayyalha

Morteza Kayyalha is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Pennsylvania State University, affiliated with the Materials Research Institute. His research focuses on quantum transport phenomena in low-dimensional materials and hybrid superconducting systems.

Research interests span

• Quantum Anomalous Hall Effect in topological insulators
• Andreev Bound States in graphene-based junctions
• Mesoscopic superconductivity and Josephson effect
• Gate-tunable electronic properties in 2D materials
• Topological materials and spintronics

Research Trends in his 15 most recent publications highlight ballistic transport in graphene interferometers, chirality control in topological insulators, and novel superconducting diode effects in multi-terminal devices. Key subfields include non-equilibrium dynamics, confinement-induced edge state interactions, and phase-coherent transport in 2D systems.

Collaborations involve researchers such as N. Samarth, C. Z. Chang, and R. Mélin across institutions in the U.S. and international partners, with works published in journals including Nature Materials, Physical Review B, and Nanotechnology.
