Despite great progress in discovering and characterizing macroscopic states of matter, advances in understanding the fundamental mechanisms behind these phenomena is hampered by the challenges of probing matter at the atomic scale as well as control over creating new material systems with designed geometries and chemical composition. The objective of my research plan is to develop an innovative platform aimed at overcoming these challenges. To that end, with the vision of connecting atomic-scale understanding of physical phenomena with their macroscopic manifestation, I intend to combine two powerful approaches: 1) building custom nanostructures layer-by-layer from atomically thin crystals of van der Waals bonded materials and 2) characterizing and controlling matter at the atomic scale using scanning probe microscopy.

尽管在发现和表征物质的宏观状态方面取得了很大进展，但在理解这些现象背后的基本机制方面的进展受到在原子尺度上探测物质以及控制创造具有设计的几何和化学成分的新材料系统的挑战的阻碍。我的研究计划的目标是开发一个旨在克服这些挑战的创新平台。为此，带着将原子尺度对物理现象的理解与其宏观表现联系起来的愿景，我打算结合两种强大的方法：1)从范德华结合材料的原子薄晶体逐层构建自定义纳米结构，以及2)使用扫描探针显微镜在原子尺度上表征和控制物质。
