... Her research focuses on the high-resolution fabrication of compound semiconductor electronic and optoelectronic devices, on candidate structures for the realization of quantum computation schemes, and on novel device structures formed through the heterogeneous integration of materials. Recently her work has involved the interaction of quantum (Q)
