The Pop Lab is a research group led by Prof. Eric Pop in Electrical Engineering (EE) and Materials Science & Engineering (MSE) at Stanford University. We are located in the Paul Allen Center for Integrated Systems (CIS), working in the Stanford Nanofabrication Facility (SNF) and the Stanford Nano Shared Facilities (SNSF). We are affiliated with the Stanford SystemX Alliance and the Non-Volatile Memory Technology Research Initiative (NMTRI).
Our research is at the intersection of nanoelectronics and nanoscale energy conversion, exploring topics such as:
- Energy-efficient transistors, data storage (memory), and thermoelectrics
- 2D materials (graphene, h-BN, MoS2, WSe2,...) and phase-change materials (GST, VO2)
- Fundamental physical limits of current and heat flow, e.g. ballistic electrons and phonons
- Applications of nanoscale energy transport, conversion and harvesting
Our work includes nanofabrication, characterization, and multiscale simulations. On-campus collaborations include Materials Science, Physics, Chemical and Mechanical Engineering, and off-campus they range from UIUC, UC Davis, Georgia Tech, UT Dallas, Univ. of Tokyo and Singapore (NUS), to TU Wien, Univ. Bologna and Poli Milano.
