Anatoly Shabalin, Postdoctoral Scholar 2016-present

Ph.D. Physics, University of Hamburg, 2016
M.S. Physics, Moscow State University, 2010
Research Topic: I believe that the unique capabilities of state-of-the-art X-ray sources, such as new generation of synchrotrons and free-electron lasers, are the key to the revolution in the current understanding of physics of nanoscale systems. In this big picture, my research focuses on probing the structure and dynamics of functional materials, such as resistive-switching based nanodevices for neuromorphic computing, advanced battery materials in operando conditions, and self-assembled biophotonic structures for optical computing applications.
