Twistronics

Danny is interested in the electromechanical properties of two-dimensional materials. Specfically, he is interested in ferroelectricity, the switching of electric fields in a material, which are used in transistors and memory applications. He is also...

Jonathan is a senior at Harvard College concentrating in Physics and Mathematics with a secondary in Computer Science. In the Kaxiras group, he develops models of moiré phonons, studying them from both a theoretical and computational (algorithms and...

Mattia's research is centered around the numerical simulation of complex systems using mathematical modeling, first-principle methods and machine learning algorithms. His recent research interests encompass the development and implementation of methods...

Daniel uses density functional theory and molecular dynamics simulations to support experimental studies of novel materials, particularly twisted moiré systems.  Recent work has focused on first-principles studies of atomic and electronic properties of...

Zoe earned her Ph.D. in physics in 2022 studying two-dimensional multilayered van der Waals heterostructures such as twisted bilayer graphene. She works on a multi-scale model of mechanical relaxation patterns and electronic structures of these layered...
