Assistant Professor Research Interests: Complex oxides, intercalation and ion exchange, mixed conductors, noncentrosymmetric structures |
|
|
Manufacturing Manager / Chemist Research Interests: Materials Chemistry, Surface science of actinides, Neutron Scattering |
Class of 1947 Career Development Professor Research Interests: Collective excitations in solids, materials with nontrivial topology, disordered systems and amorphous solids, and designing new measurement paradigms. |
|
|
Graduate student PhD Candidate Research interests: Using small angle neutron scattering to explore the field-angle dependence of superconducting vortex lattices, and spatially resolved phase coexistences and inhomogeneities of the skyrmion lattice. |
Distinguished Prof. of Arts and Sciences Research interests: Enzymatic redox catalysis, electron transfer and conformational coupling within multidomain protein complexes. Scattering, spectroscopy and biochemical studies to elucidate bases for activities. |
|
|
Staff Scientist Research interests: Strongly correlated electrons, low-dimensional and quantum magnetism, probing solid state quantum entangelment.
|
Assistant Professor of Materials Science and Engineering Research interests: Design, synthesis and high-throughput characterization of biomimetic polymer-based assemblies and bioinspired nanocomposites for developing next-generation materials |
|
|
Chair: Assistant Professor of Physics Research interests: Dynamics and relaxations in liquids and glasses; ion and electron transport in energy storage materials. |
Instrument Scientist Research interests: Neutron scattering and rheology applied to complex fluids and heterogenous materials for fundamental science and industrial applications. |
|
|
Associate Professor of Chemistry Research interests: Exploring new quantum materials, high pressure X-ray and neutron scattering, high pressure synthesis of novel quantum materials. |
Assistant professor of Chemistry Research Interests: Group focus on the unconventional synthesis routes to complex solids and understanding their atomic and electronic structure to create new functional materials that address current scientific challenges in sustainable energy. We utilize X-ray, neutron, and electron elastic scattering methods, including synchrotron X-ray and neutron powder and single crystal diffraction, Pair Distribution Function (PDF), and structure determination from powder diffraction data to establish a structure-property relationship for emergent solid state materials. |
