Brad Ramshaw, an associate professor of physics, has been awarded the Brown Investigator distinction for 2025. This prestigious honor, combined with a grant of up to $2 million over five years, supports his research using ultrasound to investigate electronic states in two-dimensional materials. Ramshaw emphasizes that while the field of 2D materials has rapidly advanced, measurement techniques have lagged, making this funding crucial for exploring new measurement methods for material properties. His work focuses on fundamental quantum phenomena and developing cutting-edge experimental approaches.
"The world of two-dimensional materials has exploded over the past decade, but the development of suitable experimental techniques for measuring them has not kept up," Ramshaw said.
"This grant will allow us to pursue some high-risk, novel ideas for how to measure material properties like elasticity and high-frequency conductivity that have previously been inaccessible in 2D materials."
