Bio
Fehmi Sami Yasin is an Alvin M. Weinberg Distinguished Staff Fellow in the Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy group. He earned his PhD in June, 2019 from the University of Oregon in Prof. Benjamin McMorran's electron physics laboratory. Fehmi's current research focuses on magnetic imaging at temperatures ranging from room temperature down to liquid helium temperatures. In particular, he focuses on imaging the magnetic states in quantum materials that host emergent, topologically non-trivial real space spin textures such as magnetic skyrmions, as well as their dynamics in situ under external stimuli such as electric and heat currents. Fehmi is also interested in electron interferometry, especially the development of STEM holography as a low dose imaging technique.
