Steven Schofield

Steven Schofield is a Professor of Physics at University College London (UCL), jointly appointed at the London Centre for Nanotechnology and the Department of Physics and Astronomy. He completed his undergraduate and graduate studies in Australia, earning degrees from the University of Newcastle and the University of New South Wales. His undergraduate research, conducted under the supervision of Professors Marian Radny and Phil Smith, and his graduate research, conducted under the supervision of Professors Robert Clark and Michelle Simmons, laid the foundation for his career in atomic-scale research. Steven has held an ARC Australian Postdoctoral Fellowship and an EPSRC Career Acceleration Fellowship, and has lived and worked in the UK since 2008. His work employs tools such as ultrahigh vacuum scanning tunnelling microscopy and spectroscopy (STM/STS), angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), and density functional theory (DFT). His research focuses on uncovering and manipulating the fundamental properties of matter at the atomic scale, with a particular emphasis on semiconductors and two-dimensional materials.
