Julian Ceddia. PhD, Monash University

Hi! I'm Julian, a final-year PhD student at Monash University, Melbourne, Australia. I joined FLEET at the Monash node in 2021 as a member of Agustin Schiffrin's group. Since then, I have been working on synthesising novel two-dimensional metal-organic frameworks (2D MOFs) and studying their electronic properties. Specifically, I'm interested in 2D MOFs that host correlated electron phenomena, which are fascinating properties that emerge when electrons in a material interact with each other. Such interactions could be the key to unlocking new technologies that will vastly improve the computational power and efficiency of future low-energy electronics. To study these materials I use low-temperature scanning probe techniques including scanning tunnelling microscopy and non-contact atomic force microscopy. Alongside my research, I love developing new software to facilitate data analysis and automation of equipment in our lab - check out some of my recent projects below!


Featured Projects


Scanbot

Scanbot using a dual sample holder to tip shape and survey samples

Scanbot is a Python bot that automates data acquisition and tip preparation in Scanning Tunnelling Microscopy experiments. This project was undertaken as part of FLEET's Translation Program.
