Alberto Salleo named Deputy Director for Science and Technology at SLAC

The role focuses on identifying and realizing opportunities and strengthening the coordination and execution of science and technology initiatives.

Stanford Report
Associate Scientist Aaron Sharpe has won the William L. McMillan Award!

The McMillan Award is presented to an outstanding researcher in condensed matter physics. Aaron is recognized for the discovery of orbital ferromagnetism in a bilayer carbon-based van der Waals material.

The Grainger College of Engineering
Jeongwan Haah received a $100,000 New Horizons Physics Prize

The “Oscars of Science” honorees included Stanford researchers involved in a massive project to understand the fundamental structure of the universe.

Stanford Report
The Symposium on Regenerative Rehabilitation hosted a Regenerative Rehabilitation Pitch Competition

Vanessa Doulames received $10,000 in funding to support novel directions in Regenerative Rehabilitation research

This Regenerative Rehabilitation Pitch Competition was funded by AR3T. Vanessa presented her pitch to a panel of judges and was declared the winner!

Professor David Goldhaber-Gordon found a way to investigate quantum critical phenomena much more efficiently

The essential idea of a quantum simulator, Goldhaber-Gordon said, is sort of similar to a mechanical model of the solar system, where someone turns a crank, and interlocking gears rotate to represent the motion of the moon and planets.

The discovery of highly conductive magnetic domain walls in a magnetic insulator

Mobile metallic domain walls in an all-in-all-out magnetic insulator

Magnetic domain walls are boundaries between regions with different configurations of the same magnetic order. In a magnetic insulator, where the magnetic order is tied to its bulk insulating property, it has been postulated that electrical properties are drastically different along the domain walls, where the order is inevitably disturbed.

GLAM research group

The Materials Science and Engineering Department promotes an inclusive learning environment

It is our collective duty to educate ourselves about the historical and current inequities that cause some groups to be underrepresented and undervalued in the scientific community. We are actively working to break down socioeconomic barriers to reach talented individuals and help disadvantaged students succeed.

The Applied Physics DEI Committee aims to address issues of equity in all aspects of our department.

The committee is currently comprised of faculty, staff, postdocs, and graduate students.  Some of our members work with the Physics Department’s Equity and Inclusion Committee to help address joint concerns. We always welcome new ideas and all are welcome to participate!

A climate that values the contributions of and encourages participation from all groups of physicists and potential physicists.

Our vision is that our department should be a world leader not only in producing groundbreaking intellectual achievements in physics, but also in training future generations of physicists who are representative of the diversity of all populations. We envision a community where all members are supported to to do their best work.

ABOUT

The Geballe Laboratory for Advanced Materials (GLAM) is an independent laboratory that supports and fosters interdisciplinary
education and research on advanced materials in science and engineering. GLAM’s educational goals include undergraduate,
graduate and postdoctoral students.

 

 

Founded September 1, 1999, the Geballe Laboratory for Advanced Materials (GLAM) is an Independent Laboratory that reports to the Dean of Research. The Laboratory supports the research activities of more than 30 faculty members from the departments of Applied Physics, Chemistry, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, and Physics.

GLAM is located in the McCullough Building on the Stanford main campus, which it shares with its partner in research, the Stanford Institute for Materials & Energy Sciences (SIMES).
