Dr. Andy Mannix

Biography

Professor Andy Mannix leads a research group at Stanford University focused on engineering electronic quantum materials at the atomic limit. His research emphasizes the use of atomically-thin two-dimensional (2D) materials, which provide unprecedented opportunities to tailor the structure and properties of matter at fundamental atomic thickness. His lab studies the growth of these materials, heterostructure assembly, and nanoscale devices while investigating the relationships between structure and properties. They aim to explore innovative methods for synthesis and develop unique automated in-vacuum fabrication tools for nanoscale devices. Professor Mannix's group works on diverse applications of 2D materials, ranging from high-performance semiconductors to bio-integrated electronics and quantum information science. He values candidates with a strong background in materials science, physics, applied physics, engineering, and optics, especially those with prior experience in 2D crystal growth and atomic-scale characterization.
