Benjamin Rogers
Benjamin Rogers is a National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellow in Dr. Sarbajit Banerjee’s group at Texas A&M University. Ben hails from Austin, Texas and received his bachelor degrees from University of Texas at Austin. Ben currently uses scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to study vanadium oxide interfaces. Additionally, Ben is receiving training to use Scanning Transmission X-Ray Microscopy (STXM) to understand the fragmentation mechanisms of vanadium oxides.
Eli Rotenberg
Advanced Light Source, LBNL
(Lead, Community Access)
Rotenberg is a Senior Scientist at the Advanced Light Source, and is Project Leader of the ALS MAESTRO beamline. He initiated and successfully built the first nano-ARPES experiment. MAESTRO brings the world’s highest ARPES resolution to REMIND. As part of reMIND, Rotenberg will leverage his extensive experience with running national user facilities.
Arunabha Mohan Roy
Arunabha’s research interests are computational material science, computational mechanics, phase field method, crystal plasticity modelling, materials design, data-driven model discovery, machine/deep learning, and physics informed neural networks.
Srikrishna Sagar
Srikrishna Sagar’s primary role at NREL is to design, fabricate, and characterize the memory devices using transition-metal coordination complexes. Sagar is focused on achieving low-power switching, followed by probing the charge transport mechanism behind the conductance and/or capacitance switching properties. He’s utilizing the spectrochemical technique to understand the distinct oxidation states and variations in absorbance observed within the complexes to correlate with the obtained current-voltage characteristics obtained from the fabricated two-terminal crossbar molecular devices. His research interests include molecular switching devices, oscillators, and photodetectors.
Elena Salagre Rubio
Dr. Elena Salagre Rubio graduated from Universidad Autónoma de Madrid with a BSc in Physics and later a MSc and a phD in Condensed Matter Physics, focusing on metal insulator transitions and novel ways of exploring them. Currently, she is a postdoctoral researcher at Sandia National Laboratories where she is growing and studying complex oxides, including high entropy oxides that she later utilizes for the fabrication of devices for neuromorphic computing. She is also investigating such devices in terms of their operating mechanisms, comprising current and temperature localization during switching and the role of phase transitions in the material during these processes.
Alejandro Aviles Sanchez
Alex received his Ph.D. in Chemical Science at the Universidad Autónoma de México in 2022. His research interests include neuromorphic materials.
Sarnali Sanfui
Sarnali has been working as a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Chemistry at Texas A&M University under the supervision of Prof. Marcetta Y. Darensbourg since June 2023. Her research work is primarily focused on the design, synthesis, and electrocatalytic application of novel bimetallic and multimetallic complexes, inspired by the biological metalloenzymes such as [Fe-Fe] hydrogenase and nitrile hydratase. She earned her Ph.D. (2023) from the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, India. Subsequently, she transitioned to her postdoctoral role in Prof. M. Darensbourg’s Group to further advance her expertise in the field of bioinorganic chemistry.
