Brian Kiraly

Brian Kiraly is an Assistant Professor at the University of Nottingham (UoN). His research focuses on the atomic-scale characterisation of layered and atomically thin materials using scanning tunnelling microscopy. He received his Ph.D, from Northwestern University working in the group of Prof. Mark Hersam and Dr. Nathan Guisinger, developing novel approaches for the synthesis of two-dimensional materials. He then went on to Radboud University in the Netherlands as a Marie Curie Individual Fellow, studying two-dimensional transition metal chalcogenides. He then received a Dutch Veni Fellowship to study magnetic atoms on the surface of layered materials. His current work involves the synthesis and characterisation of magnetic monolayer materials and constructing artificial lattices on layered and non-layered crystals for quantum simulation, machine learning in materio, and atomic logic.
