David W. McComb's research uses advanced electron microscopy and spectroscopy techniques to study the atomic-scale structure and properties of materials, including magnetic oxides, multiferroics (materials with coupled magnetic and electrical properties), superconductors, and semiconductors. A significant focus is on developing and applying methods like electron energy loss spectroscopy to probe vibrational, electronic, and structural features of materials at very fine spatial resolution.
