Shaffique Adam

 Shaffique Adam is a NRC Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Electron Physics Group.  He received a B.S. in Physics from Stanford University, with departmental honors and a university distinction, and a Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics from Cornell University, where he studied the properties of nanoscale magnetic materials.  Prior to joining the CNST in 2009 Shaffique was a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Condensed Matter Theory Center in the Department of Physics at the University of Maryland College Park, investigating the transport properties of graphene.  At the CNST, Shaffique is working with Mark Stiles on theoretical studies of the electronic properties of graphene and other nanostructures.
