Our group uses photon-based (both x-ray and optical) techniques to study the atomic and electronic structure of several classes of materials, including single crystals, thin films, and heterointerfaces. We perform synthesis and optical measurements in our lab and at external facilities (in particular, light sources) around the world. We do not currently have new openings, however, if you are interested in a position within the group, you are welcome to contact us at rcomin AT mit DOT edu.
