Dr. Maciejko develops mathematical models based on the laws of quantum mechanics to understand and predict the properties of topological insulators, a novel class of materials recently discovered that conduct electricity on their surfaces almost without dissipating heat. If this striking physical property can be harnessed in microprocessors, topological insulators could enable the design of smaller and more efficient mobile computing devices. By focusing on largely unexplored regimes where electrons interact strongly with one another and material imperfections cannot be ignored, Dr. Maciejkos research on topological insulators is poised to make significant contributions to our basic understanding of quantum matter.

Maciejko博士开发了基于量子力学定律的数学模型，以理解和预测拓扑绝缘体的特性，拓扑绝缘体是最近发现的一类新型材料，其表面几乎不散热就能导电。如果这种惊人的物理特性可以在微处理器中得到利用，拓扑绝缘体就可以设计出更小、更高效的移动的计算设备。通过关注电子彼此强烈相互作用且材料缺陷不容忽视的基本未探索的机制，Maciejkos博士对拓扑绝缘体的研究有望为我们对量子物质的基本理解做出重大贡献。
