Prof. Farnaz Niroui

Professor Niroui’s research explores the limits of the nanoscale. She is studying physical phenomena uniquely emerging at dimensions in the few nanometer regime or smaller, and their potential for new active device paradigms. Towards achieving this objective, her research team integrates device engineering with materials science and chemistry. She is developing hybrid nanofabrication techniques to enable precise yet scalable processing of nanoscale architectures capable of controlling in novel ways light-matter interactions, electronic transport, and exciton dynamics. By understanding surfaces, interfaces and the mechanics of emerging materials, her work further adds dynamic tunability to such nanoscale systems.
