Fogler Theoretical Physics Lab


Welcome to Fogler's Research Group at the University of California San Diego

Michael Fogler
Professor at UC San Diego
2008 - present
Ph.D. University of Minnesota
1997

Dr. Fogler is a condensed-matter theorist in the field of low-dimensional materials and nano-optics. His research contributions range from studies of electronic properties to photonics and plasmonics. Dr. Fogler investigates properties of new materials, including semiconductors, nanowires, graphene and two-dimensional crystals, tackling problems that involve the interplay of interaction, disorder, and quantum effects. His recent accomplishment is a trend-setting series of works on plasmons and polaritons in graphene and other van der Waals materials. Dr. Fogler has been particularly effective in collaborations with experimentalists, both at UCSD and at large.
