Following a postdoctoral appointment at Berkeley, he moved to Harvard, where he is currently the Mallinckrodt Professor of Applied Physics & Physics. Westervelt serves at the Director of the Center of Nanoscale Systems at Harvard, and Director of the NSF Science & Technology Center for Integrated Quantum Materials.   Managing Director of CIQM Naomi Brave Managing Director of the Science & Technology Center for Integrated Quantum Materials brave[at]seas.harvard.edu Pierce Hall 228 617-495-1027   Postdoctoral Researchers Sagar Bhandari Collaborator sbhandar[at]fas.harvard.edu sagar.bhandari[at]sru.edu McKay Hall 207 Curriculum Vitae Sagar is an Assistant Professor in Department of Physics and Engineering at Slippery Rock University, PA. He is an alumni of the Westervelt group and currently collaborates with the group. Sagar got his PhD in Applied Physics in "Imaging Electron Flow in Graphene" from Harvard University in 2015. He received his B.S. in Physics and Electrical Engineering from Trinity College in 2009. His research interests include using different scanning probe techniques such as scanning capacitance microscopy, scanning gate microscopy to image electronic transport in van der Waals materials. He has worked with several undergraduates to make high mobility graphene devices by using the nanofabrication facilities at CNS. He is also interested in electronic transport characterization of new 2D materials. Outside of research, he enjoys anything outdoors such as running, hiking and skiing.   Graduate Students Mary Keenan Graduate Student mkeenan[at]g.harvard.edu McKay Hall 207 Mary received her bachelor's degree in physics from Wellesley College in 2017. Currently, she is a graduate student in Applied Physics at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Science. As a member of the Westervelt lab, Mary is learning to use cooled scanning gate microscopy as a means of gaining insight into the nuances of electron flow and electronic transport properties in van der Waals materials such as graphene. In her spare time she enjoys running, reading, and dog-walking.
