John G. Ekerdt Professor, University of Texas at Austin Primary Research Interest: We study surface and materials chemistry as it relates to the growth and properties of ultrathin metal, dielectric and perovskite films for optical and electronic applications. Primary Broader Impact Activity: This is a GOALI collaboration with IBM to advance materials leading to negative capacitance devices Interests in New Collaborations: Materials characterization Image of Si/STO/ LaSTO/STO/LaSTO grown by ALD 5 nm
