Please join Yale Chemistry for a Physical Chemistry Silliman Seminar with Michael Zuerch, Assistant Professor of Chemistry, from University of California, Berkeley.
Title: TBD
Prof. Zuerch and his team experimentally explore structural, carrier and spin dynamics in novel quantum materials, heterostructures and on surfaces and at interfaces to answer current questions in materials science and physical chemistry. In his research he pursues a multidisciplinary research program that combines the exquisite possibilities that ultrafast X-ray spectroscopy and nanoimaging offer, and closely interface with material synthesis and theory groups. He employs state-of-the-art methods and develops novel nonlinear X-ray spectroscopies in the lab and in large-scale facilities. The Zuerch Group is specifically interested in experimentally studying and controlling material properties on time scales down to the sub-femtosecond regime and on nanometer length scales to tackle challenging problems in quantum electronics, information storage, and solar energy conversion.
