Ian Sequeira, PhD’s Post

After 6 years of hard work and dedication, I am thrilled to announce that I have successfully defended my thesis, titled “Mechanically Reconfigurable Micro-Electronic Van der Waals Heterostructure Devices,” and have been awarded a Ph.D. in Physics! I am deeply grateful to my advisor and mentor, Javier D Sanchez-Yamagishi, for his unwavering support and guidance, and to the entire JDSY lab for their collaboration and encouragement. I also want to extend my heartfelt thanks to my friends and family for their constant support throughout this rewarding and challenging journey. Looking ahead, I’m excited to apply my expertise in device physics, electrical device characterization, and cryogenics to advance the field of quantum computing. #PhDDefense #Physics #Graphene #VanDerWaals #2d #DevicePhysics #Research #GraduateSuccess #AcademicJourney #Nanotechnology #QuantumComputing

Excited to share that at this year’s American Physical Society (APS) meeting, Andrew Barabas and I presented a two-part talk on controlling heterostrain to engineer a nanometer-scale moiré superlattice in a graphene-hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) heterostructure. In our talk, we discussed our technique for selectively delivering strain to atomically thin layers within a heterostructure, compatible with electrical transport measurements. This work paves the way for significantly altering a material’s electronic properties, such as tuning the bandgap and inducing strong anisotropies in the band structure. Stay tuned for our upcoming manuscript!
