Uchida Lab

Novel quantum phases realized by epitaxy

Welcome

The Uchida Lab is a new research group launched at Tokyo Tech in September 2020. We pursue physics of quantum transport in extremely high-quality epitaxial thin films and artificial heterostructures, by adopting molecular beam epitaxy techniques to topological and correlated materials. We are actively recruting group members - if you are interested, please see the RESEARCH page and email to Uchida. We welcome enthusiastic students and postdocs who will work together to open up the frontier of condensed matter physics. We are also looking forward to proposals for collaorative research.
