Matthew Rosenberger

Research

Prof. Rosenberger's research focuses on atomic force microscopy; nanomechanics and strain engineering; materials engineering; chemical and biological sensing; energy-efficient electronics; and energy storage and conversion applications. His recent work aims to understand the physics of strain, defects, and interfaces in two-dimensional materials and leveraging that understanding to control material behavior. Other work has included directly correlating nanometer-scale material defects with properties that govern optoelectronic and electronic device behavior, such as light emission and electrical conductivity.
