Aidan Delgado is a 4th year PhD Candidate in the Fischer group where he specializes on the applications of Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) for the electronic and structural characterization of carbon-based nanostructures. Prior to his time at Berkeley, Aidan received his B.A. in Chemistry from Lawrence University, where he worked with Dr. Graham Sazama synthesizing conductive one-dimensional MOFs. In his free time, he enjoys cycling and running around the Bay Area and hiking with his dog, Charlie.
Currently, his research is at the interface of materials science, condensed matter physics and chemistry. He ultimately aims to develop a fundamental understanding of emergent behaviors in matter at the nanoscale. To do so he utilizes state-of-the-art SPM methods, allowing him to achieve atomic resolution and explore novel electronic states.
