Nanoscience and Quantum Engineering

My group develops advanced concepts in scanning probe microscopy. One project is focused on pushing magnetic resonance imaging into the nanoscale regime using ultrasensitive (attonewton) force detection techniques. Another project is investigating nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond as atomic size sensors for probing of magnetism and magnetic resonance imaging at the nanoscale.
