Oxides Research Group

Research in our group is primarily focused on oxide thin films and nanostructures with emphasis on understanding how processing affects properties. Research activities include developing mechanistic understanding of initial stages of oxidation of metals and oxygen incorporation into oxides under photon irradiation. Phase evolution in oxides and their stability as a function of temperature and doping is investigated using combination of structural, electrical and electrochemical studies. Quantitative determination of oxygen concentration in nanoscale oxides and research on...

Rowland Fellows Program

The Rowland Institute at Harvard is seeking applications for Rowland Fellowships that commence in the 2022 calendar year. We seek the best young experimentalists in all fields of science and engineering. The Rowland Fellowship provides an opportunity to establish an independent program in the rich intellectual environment at Harvard and surrounding area. Candidates will have newly awarded doctorates or up to three years postdoctoral experience.

Dr. Edwin Land founded the Rowland Institute in order to foster high-risk, creative research. In 2002, the Rowland Institute became...

Rowland Senior Fellows

The Rowland Senior Fellows are scientists who joined the institute at its inception under the leadership of Edwin H. Land, passing to Philip DuBois prior to merging of the Rowland Institute with Harvard University. Their primary emphasis has been devoted to studies in experimental science.   Joel Parks is a physicist concentrating on studies of the structural dynamics of gas-phase species including small metal clusters and biomolecules.
