معرفی
Stephen Wu is an Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Physics at the University of Rochester. His research focuses on merging quantum materials science with nanoscale electronic devices to advance electronics beyond Moore's Law. He holds a B.S. and B.A. from UC Berkeley (2006), and M.A. and Ph.D. in Physics from UC Berkeley (2009, 2012). Before joining Rochester in 2017, he was a postdoctoral scholar at Argonne National Laboratory's Materials Science Division.
Key research interests include spintronic devices for nanoscale spin current manipulation, complex oxide thin films for quantum materials exploration, and 2D systems for topological electronic devices. His work integrates experimental condensed matter physics with materials science and electrical engineering.
Recent studies emphasize strain engineering in 2D materials such as MoTe2 and graphene, exploring strain-induced phase changes, moiré patterns, and superconductivity. He has pioneered scalable fabrication techniques for van der Waals heterostructures and investigated strain effects on electronic properties.
His publications span topics like memristor performance, moiré engineering, and nanoscale strain control. Collaborative efforts focus on interdisciplinary challenges in quantum materials and device miniaturization.
