Rowland Institute at Harvard

Welcome to

SATO LAB

Rowland Institute at Harvard

Harvard University

One of the main overarching themes of our research is extending beyond conventional scientific disciplines through experimentation. We thrive to make our laboratory a place with far-ranging interests driven by curiosity, where creativity dictates and interdisciplinary investigations and cross-fertilization are the norms. With disregard for presumed boundaries between physics, applied physics, material science and engineering, we explore projects that often require stepping out of our comfort zones and inventing new sets of tools.

Our current interests include quantum devices based on superfluidity and superconductivity, metamaterials & devices, inertial sensing technologies, matter wave interferometry, heat transport through hybrid solids, and force/displacement sensing limits. Please see our research page for some ongoing projects.

The Rowland Institute at Harvard was originally founded by Edwin H. Land as the Rowland Institute for Science, a basic research organization, conceived to advance science in a wide variety of fields. The Rowland Junior Fellows Program lies at the heart of the Institute: a program dedicated to provide young scientists the opportunity to perform independent experimental research for up to five years with full institutional support and access to the Institute's outstanding technical scientific resources.
