Balandin Group is structured as two laboratories – the Phonon Optimized Engineered Materials (POEM) Laboratory and the Nano-Device Laboratory (NDL). POEM Laboratory features equipment for optical, thermal, and electrical material characterization. NDL includes equipment for nanoscale device fabrication and testing.

There are several locations for the POEM and NDL equipment in the Engineering 5, Engineering 6, and CNSI buildings. POEM Laboratory includes “Spectro Lab” (Engineering E5-1220), “Cryo-BMS” (CNSI B123), and “Composite Lab” (Engineering E6-597). NDL is hosted in the “Main Lab” (Engineering E-5 1030).
