Andy Mannix is an assistant professor in Stanford University’s Department of Materials Science and Engineering. His research focuses on tailoring materials at the atomic scale to advance electronic, optoelectronic, and quantum technologies. His lab specializes in the growth, fabrication, and characterization of two-dimensional (2D) materials and van der Waals heterostructures. Using advanced robotic fabrication, hyperspectral microscopy, and scanning probe techniques, the group explores material properties and interfaces to enable deterministic atomic-scale engineering. Andy has received the Office of Naval Research YIP Award (2024) and the NSF CAREER Award (2024). He earned his B.S. in MSE from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and his Ph.D. in MSE from Northwestern University, where, as an NSF GRFP Fellow, he pioneered the growth and atomic-scale characterization of novel 2D materials, including borophene. During his Kadanoff-Rice Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of Chicago, he developed innovative methods for robotic heterostructure assembly and processing of 2D materials.
