While at the Rowland Institute, the El Baggari lab sought to understand and manipulate the properties of quantum materials, a broad class of compounds that exhibit superb electronic, magnetic and structural properties tied to the quantum-mechanical nature of electrons. To arrive at a microscopic understanding, the El Baggari lab directly visualized the atomic-scale structure of these materials using cryogenic electron microscopy while simultaneously driving them with external stimuli such as temperature and electric current.
