Nai-Chang Yeh

Nai‐Chang Yeh is currently Professor of Physics at Caltech. Her principal research field is experimental condensed matter physics, with special emphasis on correlated electronic systems (e.g., high‐temperature  superconductors,  colossal  magnetic  perovskites),  topological  matter  (e.g.,  topological  insulators  and  superconductors),  spintronics,  low‐dimensional  systems  (e.g.,  graphene,  graphene  nanoribbons,  carbon  nanotubes, nanoparticles, quantum dots, two‐dimensional transition‐metal dichalcogenides), nanoscience and  nanotechnology (e.g., nanoscale instrumentation of scanning probe microscopy for nanoscale characterization, nanofabrication of electronic, optoelectronic and spintronic devices,nanoscale engineering for quantum information technology),energy research(e.g., development of photovoltaic and fuel cells, supercapacitors),and precise measurements using superconducting technology.
