  • Dr. Peter Abbamonte
    Founder and Chief Scientific Officer

    Professor of Physics, University of Illinois and is one of the originators of the technique of resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS), which he has used, among other things, to discover a Wigner crystal in doped spin ladders, and to show that stripes in copper-oxide superconductors are charged. This technique is now in use at every major synchrotron facility in the world.
