Advanced scattering experiments on quantum materials
I am Jayajeewana Niranjana, a graduate student at the University of Houston. I am working with Dr. Freelon in his eXn lab. My research area is basically focused on 2D materials and investigation of their properties using various techniques such as UED and RIXS.
In addition, I am working on 3D modeling projects. I did my undergraduate studies at the University of Colombo, Sri Lanka. In my free time, I play cricket and I like to watch cricket games. Thank you.
Byron Freelon, assistant professor of physics, has been named a Fulbright Scholar for 2024-25, expanding his efforts to promote the representation of Black physicists while building the scientific workforce needed to interpret data produced by X-ray synchrotrons.
Uche is from Enugu state in Nigeria where he graduated from the University of Jos with a bachelor’s degree in physics and a master’s degree in physics from Auburn University. He joined the eXn group at the University of Houston in the summer of 2021. He is interested in characterizing the structural and magnetic properties of strained 2D materials using x and neutron scattering techniques. In his spare time, he enjoys playing soccer, playing video games, cooking, and spending time with his friends and family.
