Research Summary: Andrew works on phonon-magnon coupling and its applications in quantum information transduction. He fabricates interdigital transducers (IDTs) on piezoelectric substrates using photolithography and electron beam lithography to generate surface acoustic waves. These waves can interface with spins in magnetic thin films deposited on the substrate and form hybrid systems where energy is transferred from phonons to spin waves (magnons)

Personal Summary: Outside of lab, Andrew enjoys playing soccer and ultimate frisbee and spending time outside. He’s also a tenured cat-sitter with many years of experience.
