Dr Daniel Sando is a postdoctoral researcher working with Prof Nagy Valanoor at UNSW to fabricate and characterise topological materials for FLEET’s Research Theme 1 and Enabling technology theme A.
Dr Sando’s research is focused on the growth of 2-dimensional electron systems (2DES) comprising oxide perovskite materials LaAlO3 and SrTiO3, by pulsed laser deposition (PLD). A specific aim involves the gating of such systems using ferroelectrics or multiferroics such as BaTiO3 or BiFeO3. He also works on domain wall nano-electronics and magnonics using BiFeO3.
