About FINCH Lab

Welcome to the FINCH Lab!

We are a group in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Delaware focused on the  research in designer complex oxide thin films, interfaces, multilayers and nanostructures. Our lab is home to a state-of-the-art hybrid oxide MBE system that is attached to an x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy system to grow and characterize oxide films. In addition to our capabilities at Auburn, we collaborate with scientists around the world for access to instrumentation such as electron microscopes and synchrotron x-ray characterization.

Prospective Students and Postdocs:

We do not currently have any openings for postdoctoral scholars. Prospective graduate students wishing to work in the group are encouraged to apply through the the. Current Delaware undergraduate students interested in working with the group should contact Dr. Comes using the information below.
