About

Liam Cohen is currently a post doc working in the QuMuLab on high kinetic inductance materials and novel Josephson junctions for high frequency and hybrid quantum circuits.   He did his PhD at UCSB with Professor Andrea Young studying the fractional quantum Hall effect in graphene van der Waals heterostructures.  His prior work focused on fabricating quantum point contacts, quantum dots, and Fabry-Perot interferometers to study anyon dynamics.  He hopes in the future to combine high-frequency spectroscopy with van der Waals materials to interrogate the growing array of graphitic superconductors, explore phases of matter that may host non-abelian anyons, and experiment with coherent quantum Hall based tunnel junctions in exciton condensates.
