Research Description: Gleb Finkelstein is an experimental physicist interested in inorganic and biologically inspired nanostructures: carbon nanotubes, nanocrystals and self-assembled DNA scaffolds. These objects reveal a variety of interesting electronic properties that may become a basis for future devices and sensors. My group performs electronic transport measurements (as some of the effects are ruined by room temperature, we routinely work at cryogenic temperatures). To address individual nanoscale objects, we are developing low-temperature scanning probe methods (such as Atomic Force Microscopy). Finally, we work on DNA scaffolds for making self-assembled electronic nanostructures.
