Roman Gorbachev

Roman's research area is experimental condensed matter physics, with an emphasis on fabrication of nanoscale low-dimensional devices. The recent availability of novel nanoscale materials, such as atomically thin 2-dimensional crystals and nanowires has enabled the assembly and study of composite electronics and mechanical devices, as well as the exploration of fundamental physics in these low-dimensional systems. The use of modern state-of-the-art semiconductor device fabrication techniques and the development of new methods of material synthesis/manipulation are essential parts of this research, which gives an ample space to explore the new physical phenomena and can bring an impact to future technologies. To date Roman has published over 100 peer-reviewed papers, attracting over 32,000 citations and h-index of 62 (google scholar).
