Ali Yazdani

Ali Yazdani, the Class of 1909 Professor of Physics at Princeton University, is a distinguished researcher known for his significant contributions to the field of quantum science and materials research.

Ali Yazdani's research program focuses on the development and application of novel experimental methods to directly visualize exotic electronic phenomena in solids. Through these studies he has been at the forefront of research on many novel electronic phenomena in condensed matter systems.

Research Focus
Professor Yazdani’s lab focuses on harnessing the power of quantum microscopy techniques. These methods allow direct visualization of electronic wavefunctions in quantum materials, providing critical insights into novel phases of matter and their excitations.

By applying both established and newly developed microscopy tools, his group aims to uncover the secrets of quantum behavior that cannot be obtained through conventional macroscopic averaging techniques1.
