Bio:
Ismail El Baggari is a Principal Investigator and Rowland Fellow at the Rowland Institute at Harvard. He obtained his Ph.D. and M.S. in Physics from Cornell University and a Bachelor of Science in Applied Physics from Yale University. His research focuses on the development of in situ cryogenic electron microscopy for understanding quantum materials and devices.
Research:
Our lab seeks to understand and manipulate the properties of quantum materials, a broad class of compounds that exhibit superb electronic, magnetic and structural properties tied to the quantum-mechanical nature of electrons. To arrive at a microscopic understanding, we directly visualize the atomic-scale structure of these materials using cryogenic electron microscopy while simultaneously driving them with external stimuli such as temperature and electric current.
