The information required to produce a complex organism is encoded within its genome. A lens cell of the eye and an insulin-producing pancreatic cell contain identical genomic information yet access only a subset of that information. Thus, regulated expression of specific genes, in response to various cues, is what instructs cells to adopt defined fates

My research focuses on the structure of materials. My two major research themes are (1) studies of the structure of amorphous materials using fluctuation electron microscopy, a technique my group has developed based on coherent electron nanodiffraction; and (2) studies of defects and interfaces in crystalline materials and devices using extreme high-resolution imaging and microanalysis.

The theme of the research in the Jain lab hinges on the question: how can we use light to interface better with molecules and nanostructures? The goal is to use light in unique ways to: i) resolve important nanoscale or molecular processes that are not well understood, or, ii) induce novel optoelectronic or photochemical behavior
