Overview

The Vishik Lab in UC Davis focused on the study of emergent electronic phenomena in quantum materials, including unconventional and high temperature superconductors, correlated electron systems, topological materials, and 2D materials.  We use both angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and time resolved techniques in our work.   These advanced materials hold promise for revealing new emergent phenomena, elucidating interactions in many body systems, and enabling tomorrow’s electronics and energy resources.

A note to prospective PhD students: admissions is done by the entire department, not by individual professors.  If interested, you should apply to the UCD Physics and Astronomy department in the fall: application information
