Graduate Student
Mengke got her Bachelor's degree at Zhejiang University. She is interested in structural and electronic properties of low dimensional superconductors. She is using STM and MBE to grow and investigate Van der Waals material heterostructures and topoligical materials (including topological superconductors and insulators).
Graduate Student, Co-advised by Dr. Elaine Li
Hyunsue got her Bachelor's degree at University of Wisconsin Madison. And she is now pursuing a PhD degree in UT. Her interests are topological insulators, TMD heterostructures and Angle Resolved Photoemission Experiment.
Graduate Student
Lisa has a B.S. in Physics from Texas State University. She is currently a 3rd year PhD track graduate student at UT austin. She is currently interested in learning scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) to study 2D materials. She has a dog and a cat. For fun she likes to go camping and play billiards pool.
Graduate Student
Yanxing graduated from University of Sicience and Technology Beijing with a B.Sc and joined Shih group in 2020. He is interested in the growth and characterization of low dimensional materials and thin film metal using STM and Double-Coil system.
Graduate Student
Andrew graduated from Columbia University with a B.A. in Physics. He is interested in the growth and analysis of 2D materials through techniques such as CVD, MBE, STM/S and ARPES
Graduate Student co-advised by Prof. Baldini
Xinyue got her Bachelor's degree at Fudan University and joined Shih's lab in 2021. She's interested in CVD growth of Transition Metal Dichalcogenides (TMDs) and Angle-resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy (ARPES).
Graduate Student at Prof. Lai's group
Jia got his B.Sc degree from Peking University. He is a student in Prof. Lai's group. He is working on the MBE system with Sue at Shih Lab.
Postdoc Researcher
Dr. Zhang graduated from University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) with a B.Sc in 2015 and will get a PhD degree in physics from Virginia Tech at the end of 2021. He worked on STM characterization of TMDCs and ferroelectric materials and will be working on tr-ARPES and STM after joining our lab.
