Biography

Sandy Ekahana is a postdoctoral fellow in the Quantum Technology group under the supervision of Dr. Simon Gerber. Previously, he was a PSI-Fellow in Spectroscopy and Novel Materials Group under the supervision of Prof. Ming Shi. He received his D.Phil from the University of Oxford, UK, and B.Sc 1st Hons from Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. During his time in NTU, he worked mostly on semiconductors with ultrafast laser technique. He continued to pursue D.Phil at the University of Oxford working on topological materials by using ARPES technique. From his appointment in PSI-Fellow-II-3i program until now, he is mostly working on magnetic Weyl semimetal with various ARPES techniques (synchrotron-based HR-ARPES, micro-focused laser ARPES, spin-resolved ARPES, etc), micro-XPEEM, etc. He also has interests in applying machine learning for day-to-day data analysis routines such as self-supervised learning for ARPES.
