Dr. Makoto Hashimoto
I am currently an Associate Staff Scientist at Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource. I joined the Shen group as a postdoctoral scholar in 2008, after receiving my Ph.D at the University of Tokyo, Japan. My current research interest is to understand strongly-correlated electron systems, particularly high-temperature cuprate superconductors by mainly using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). I am also interested in the use and development of other spectroscopy techniques such as RIXS, time-resolved ARPES and spin-resolved ARPES.
Dr. Donghui Lu
I am currently a staff scientist at Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory. I graduated from Nanjing University with BS degree in Solid State Physics. I spent three years in Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China and three years in Institute of Solid State Physics, Karlsruhe Research Center , Germany for my post-graduate studies. I received my Ph.D. degree in Condensed Matter Physics in 1997. My research interests are mainly focused on ARPES studies of strongly correlated electron systems.

I am an associate professor of Materials Science & Engineering at Nanjing University. I joined the Shen group in the spring of 2011 as a visiting scholar. When I was in NJU, my research was mainly focusing on fundamental study of artificial photonic and phononic band gap materials and corresponding metamaterials as well as their related applications. When I came to Stanford University, I am now learning ARPES to probe and study the exotic ordering phenomena in strongly correlated systems, such as the newly discovered iron pnictide superconductors. I also have many interests in some photonic counterparts to electronic topological insulators; I am very interested in these exotic topological order and amazing topological phenomena.
Dr. Sung-Kwan Mo
My research interest is to understand electronic properties of strongly correlated materials such as transition metal oxides and heavy fermion systems, using various spectroscopic tools such as photoemission, x-ray absorption and inelastic x-ray scattering. Current focus is the ARPES measurements of spectral changes across phase boundaries and novel ground states in the vicinity of quantum critical points. Before joining Shen group in September 2006, I did my Ph. D. work at the University of Michigan. The main focus of my thesis is to investigate Mott-Hubbard metal-insulator transitions, low dimensional electronic structures, and heavy fermion properties in various vanadium compounds using photoemission spectroscopy.
Dr. Rob Moore
My focus in experimental condensed matter physics involves understanding the surface properties of correlated electron systems. With properties as superconductivity, colossalmagnetoresistance, ferroelectricity, and enhanced catalytic reactions, the immense potential from both academic and technological points of view are evident. The surfaces of such systems offer a unique opportunity to not only investigate the intricate coupling degrees of freedom responsible for such exotic phases but an opportunity to search for new phases. The strive for nanoscale applications, where surface properties dominate, emphasizes the importance of interfaces and reduced dimensionality.
Dr. Yoshiyuki Yoshida
I am a research scientist of National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), Tsukuba, Japan. I joined the Shen group in the fall of 2011 as a visiting scholar. I graduated from Osaka university and received Ph. D in 2000. My current interests are mainly focused on studies of oxide superconductors and related materials by growing high-quality single crystals.
