Mike Ziebel
Assistant Professor of Chemistry
BioMike Ziebel is an assistant professor in the department of chemistry at Stanford University. The Ziebel research group works at the interface of chemistry, physics, and materials science, focusing on using understanding of local electronic structure in inorganic solid-state materials to identify and synthesize new compounds hosting unconventional electronic and magnetic ground states. In particular, the group leverages manipulation techniques developed by the 2D materials community—namely the ability to stack, twist, and strain van der Waals materials near the few-layer limit—as a new design parameter to access electronic and magnetic behavior that would be inaccessible using conventional synthetic tools. By combining these methods with local structural and electronic probes, as well as bulk property measurements, the group works towards its ultimate goal to achieve on-demand control of lattice, charge, and spin degrees of freedom in quantum materials, for the development of more energy-efficient electrical and magnetic devices.
Prior to joining Stanford, Prof. Ziebel was a postdoctoral researcher at Columbia University, working jointly between the labs of Xavier Roy and Cory Dean to study correlated electron phases in new two-dimensional materials. He received his B.A. in chemistry from Northwestern University, where he pursued the synthesis of molecular electron donors for organic photovoltaic devices with Prof. Samuel Stupp, and his PhD in Chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley, where he worked with Prof. Jeff Long on electrically conductive metal–organic frameworks.
