Dr Daniel Sando was a postdoctoral researcher with Prof Nagy Valanoor at UNSW to fabricate and characterise topological materials for FLEET’s Research theme 1 and Enabling technology A. Dr Sando’s research focused on the growth of 2-dimensional electron systems (2DES) comprising oxide perovskite materials LaAlO₃ and SrTiO₃, by pulsed laser deposition (PLD). A specific aim involves the gating of such systems using ferroelectrics or multiferroics such as BaTiO₃ or BiFeO₃. He also works on domain wall nano-electronics and magnonics using BiFeO₃.
