Tanya Berry, a former PARADIM trainee and Ph.D. graduate from Princeton University, has been named the 2024 recipient of the Richard L. Greene Dissertation Award in Experimental Condensed Matter or Materials Physics. The award honors her exceptional contributions to the discovery of topological materials through Zintl chemistry and advances in materials synthesis.
Platform for the Accelerated Realization, Analysis, and Discovery of Interface Materials (PARADIM)
PARADIM helps users design and create new interface materials — materials that do not exist in nature — with unprecedented properties for the next generation of electronic devices. Creating new interface materials with unprecedented properties, by design rather than by serendipity, is accomplished in PARADIM through a synergistic set of user facilities dedicated to theory (figuring out where to put the atoms for useful behavior), synthesis (putting the atoms in the targeted positions), and characterization (seeing that the atoms are indeed in the desired positions).
