Charles Ahn is the John C. Malone Professor of Applied Physics & Materials Science at Yale University. His research focuses on fabricating and studying novel complex oxide materials using advanced techniques like molecular beam epitaxy and synchrotron x-ray scattering. His work addresses multifunctional oxides, nanofabrication, and nonvolatile logic switches for post-CMOS computing. Key research areas include electronic control of complex order parameters in correlated oxides and scanning probe microscopy-based nanofabrication. Education: Ph.D. in Applied Physics from Stanford University. Research interests span the physics and technology of complex oxides, with emphasis on electronic and structural control at the nanoscale. His group develops next-generation materials for computing and electronics, leveraging interdisciplinary approaches in materials science and condensed matter physics. Notable awards include Fellow of the American Physical Society, AVS Peter Mark Memorial Award, David and Lucile Packard Fellowship, and Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship. His lab (Ahn Lab) actively explores cutting-edge applications in oxide electronics and quantum phenomena. Grants and patents include innovations in magnetoelectronic devices and ferroelectric-based technologies. He collaborates widely, bridging experimental materials science with theoretical modeling to advance functional oxide systems.
