Research
In order to address pressing fundamental materials science questions across a diversity of fields – including batteries, quantum materials, and basic biochemistry – the Larson Lab leverages interdisciplinary expertise in chemistry and physics to develop and/or deploy various state-of-the-art experimental methods to characterize and better understand functional surfaces and interfaces nondestructively, with nanoscale resolution, in their native environment.
