Prof. Latha Venkataraman
Columbia University
Area of Research:
Latha's research involves exploring the electronic transport and mechanical properties of materials on the nanometer scale. In recent decades, developments in nanotechnology, including the invention of the scanning tunneling microscope and other scanned probe techniques, have enabled the study of materials in these previously inaccessible length scales. Her research uses these tools to study the electronic and mechanical properties of single molecules and novel nanowire materials.
Area of Expertise:
electronic transport, single molecule electronics, nanowires, scanning probe microscopy
Biography:
Assistant Professor Latha Venkataraman received a bachelor's degree in Physics from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and an MS and PhD in Physics from Harvard University, where she also received an Applied Physics Fellowship and the White Prize for Excellence in Teaching. Following her doctorate, she spent three years at Vytran Corporation as a research scientist, developing new technologies for fusion splicing of optical fibers. Prior to joining the department of Applied Physics at Columbia University, Dr. Venkataraman was a research scientist and executive committee member at Columbia's Nanoscience and Engineering Center.
