Generate a tailored SOP for Dr. Jyoti Katoch. Improve your application with a focused, well-structured draft.
Jyoti Katoch is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at Carnegie Mellon University. She earned her Ph.D. from the University of Central Florida in 2014 and holds a B.S. in Physics, Mathematics, and Chemistry from Panjab University in India. Her research interests lie in investigating the electronic and optical spin-dependent properties of novel quantum materials, particularly two-dimensional materials and devices. With expertise in controlling the properties of 2D materials through atomic-scale modifications such as adatoms and heterostructures, she focuses on understanding novel physical phenomena that arise from these modifications. Her research employs molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) techniques alongside advanced characterization tools to grow and analyze new quantum materials. Katoch utilizes a sophisticated in-situ low-temperature ultra-high vacuum magneto-transport measurement setup to study the quantum transport and optical properties of these materials, as well as their electronic band structures using NanoARPES. Additionally, she has contributed to numerous publications regarding the properties and applications of 2D materials in the field of condensed matter physics.
