Sarah Burke is an Associate Professor at the University of British Columbia in the Department of Chemistry. Her research focuses on nanoscale electronic and optoelectronic materials, employing advanced techniques such as Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) to understand electronic and optoelectronic processes at the atomic scale. Key interests include the study of organic thin film electronics, where she investigates the impact of device environment on functionality, particularly at the organic film/gate dielectric interface. Burke's work on nanoscale photovoltaics seeks to elucidate charge generation and transport processes, driven by collaborations that utilize Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and nc-AFM to characterize prototype materials. The integration of technique development with fundamental research is a core aspect of her lab's mission, advancing the understanding of various materials through innovative SPM-optical experiments.
