Research Summary

Professor Abate’s research focuses on developing material and device solutions for two of the current grand challenges: climate change and energy accessibility. Particularly, through manipulation of electrons and spins in layered materials (oxides, two-dimensional materials and their heterostructures), high-performance, low-cost, sustainable materials are created for next-generation batteries, catalysis/sensing platforms, and materials for neuromorphic and quantum computing.
