Farzad Mahfouzi (Assoc)

Farzad Mahfouzi is a Research Associate in the Nanoscale Processes and Measurements Group / Joint Quantum Institute (JQI). He received his B.Sc. from the University of Isfahan, Iran, M.Sc. from IASBS, Iran, and Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Delaware. At NIST, he has been working with Paul Haney on projects focused on simulating quantum transport in novel materials for metrology applications. His research also employs ab initio methods to explore optoelectric effects and their relationship to current-induced surface magnetism.
