Steven Schofield

University College London

Steven is an Associate Professor in Condensed Matter Physics at University College London. His research is focused on understanding and controlling the fundamental quantum properties of matter at the atomic scale for potential applications in classical and quantum information processing. His research group uses atomic-scale fabrication and cryogenic-temperature, ultrahigh-vacuum scanning tunnelling microscopy and spectroscopy to create and investigate nanostructures in semiconductor and two-dimensional materials.  Often these measurements are made in conjunction with complementary techniques including momentum-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy and quantum simulation. Steven is a former chair of the Nanoscale Physics and Technology group of the Institute of Physics (2012-2017), and is the current Nanometer Structures Division representative for the UK to the International Union for Vacuum Science Techniques and Applications (IUVSTA).
