My research concentrates around studying electrical transport properties of Graphene. These include:

· Fabrication of high mobility graphene devices; most of my experience is with suspended devices:

· Measuring transport properties of graphene devices in high magnetic field (Quantum Hall Effect), especially in the vicinity of Dirac Point.

· Graphene based SNS junctions
