We are a research group led by Zafer Mutlu, Assistant Professor of Departments of Materials Science & Engineering, Physics, and Electrical & Computer Engineering at University of Arizona. Our work spans materials science, physics, chemistry, and electrical engineering, focusing on emerging materials and device concepts for next-generation information, communication, and energy technologies. Our research integrates atomic precision, topological design, and quantum control across several interconnected directions. We investigate graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) as quantum semiconductors for AI-era computing hardware, develop topological acoustic wave devices for AI-enabled radio-frequency (RF) and sensing systems, and explore the semiconducting behavior of chalcopyrite minerals to advance sustainable copper extraction. Together, these efforts bridge fundamental science and applied technology across electronics, acoustics, and materials sustainability. We also pursue emerging and unconventional scientific ideas that arise from curiosity and cross-disciplinary thinking, encouraging creativity and exploration beyond established research boundaries. By combining advanced experimental methods with AI-assisted analysis and data-driven design, we aim to accelerate discovery and enable technologies that connect classical, quantum, and intelligent systems.
