Research Scientists
| Dr. Yusuke Iguchi Yusuke received his B.S. in physics at Tokyo University of Science in 2013 and received his Ph.D. in Basic Science from the University of Tokyo in 2018. He was JSPS Overseas Fellow in Applied Physics at Stanford University during 2018-2020. He then joined the Geballe Laboratory for Advanced Materials at Stanford University as a senior research scientist. Yusuke is an experimental physicist in the field of condensed matter physics, with a focus on unconventional superconductors and non-centrosymmetric magnets. His wide-ranging research covers diverse areas, including the exploration of spin dynamics in ferromagnetic insulators and chiral edge currents in topological superconductors. His achievements include the observation of non-reciprocal magnon-propagation in chiral ferromagnets, pioneering electromagnetic control over non-reciprocal microwave propagation in multiferroic materials, uncovering local superconducting states and intrinsic magnetism in candidates for chiral superconductors, and the observation of unquantized vortices in multiband superconductors. He loves watching sports game and Japanese Anime. McCullough 137 yiguchi [at] stanford.edu Personal Website | ![]() |
Postdoctoral Scholars
| Dr. rer. nat. Nabhanila Nandi Nabhanila received her PhD from the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids in Dresden, where she used focused ion beam microstructuing to investigate possible hydrodynamic flow of electrons in Delafossites. She joined the Moler group at Stanford as a postdoctoral scholar in August 2019. Her current focus is to study the magnetic properties of hybrid semiconductor‐ferromagnetic insulator heterostructures and twisted bilayer graphene using scanning SQUID. In her spare time she enjoys reading, listening to music and photography. | ![]() |
