The pioneering research of Nobel Laureates Albert Fert and Peter Grünberg heralded a new age of electronics where information can be stored and processed using the spin of the electron. This new class of electronics, called spintronics, facilitated dramatic improvements in computer hard drive storage densities. This revolution in the way we think about electronics promises to address the ever-increasing need for low-power, high-speed electronics. However, new materials are required to meet this challenge. I plan to create new materials that are compatible with silicon and germanium, which are the two semiconductors upon which modern electronic are based.

诺贝尔奖获得者阿尔伯特·费特（Albert Fert）和彼得·格伦伯格（Peter Grünberg）的开创性研究预示着电子学的新时代的到来。在电子学中，信息可以通过电子的自旋进行存储和处理。这种新型电子学被称为自旋电子学，它极大地提高了计算机硬盘的存储密度。我们对电子产品的思考方式的这场革命有望解决对低功耗、高速电子产品日益增长的需求。 然而，需要新的材料来应对这一挑战。 我计划创造出与硅和锗兼容的新材料，这两种半导体是现代电子产品的基础。
