Alexander Glasgo is a third-year Physics-Computer Engineering double major originally from San Diego. His research focuses on the synthesis and characterization of 2D material heterostructures, particularly those formed between transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) such as MoS₂ and WS₂ and novel semiconducting materials like Bi₂Te₃. He is investigating the control of straining and doping effects on the properties of these devices, with a specific focus on analyzing their height profile and optical characteristics.
Alexander plans to pursue government or commercial research on quantum devices, emphasizing the development of lab-only materials and devices in a more cost-effective and scalable manner. In his free time, he is an amateur triathlete and enjoys tinkering with RC planes.
