Chair: Olivier Delaire Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science and Physics
Research interests: Lattice dynamics in solid materials, in particular the effects of phonon anharmonicity, electron-phonon coupling and spin-phonon coupling. His group makes extensive use of both neutron and x-ray scattering, coupled with first-principles computer simulations to rationalize experimental data and predict material responses.

Vice Chair: Martin Mourigal Assistant Professor of Physics
Research interests: The magnetic dynamics of quantum antiferromagnets and spin-liquids. In his laboratory at Georgia Tech, students and postdocs engage in a broad portfolio of quantum materials techniques, including sample synthesis and characterization, inelastic neutron scattering, and theoretical modelling. |

Former Chair: Michelle Dolgos Assistant Professor
Research interests: solid state chemistry and her research area can be broadly defined as investigating structure-property relationships in advanced functional materials. Her particular focus is in two areas of materials chemistry: 1) elucidating the structure-property relationships of lead-freepiezoelectric materials and 2) structural studies of amorphous and nanocrystalline materials for electronic applications.

Secretary: Adam Aczel Staff Scientist
Research interests: Neutron scattering and muon spin relaxation studies of quantum materials, with a current emphasis on frustrated magnetism, skyrmions, and heavy transition metal magnets |
|
|
Professor of Chemistry
Research interests are in solid state inorganic chemistry, focused on the rational design of new materials through the use of data mining, synthesis, structural characterization and spectroscopy. Her lab is also working on the analysis of dynamic pair distribution function data from inelastic neutron scattering. |
Post. Doc. Fellow
Research interests: constrained structure and dynamics in soft matter, including complex fluids like synthetic polymers, biological macromolecules, colloids, glasses and polymer nano-composites.

Program Director
Research interests: Jarek is currently a program director at the Molecular Biophysics Cluster in the Division of Molecular and Cellular Biology at the National Science Foundation. He is on a leave of absence from Los Alamos National Laboratory where, over the past 20 years, he has built a successful x-ray and neutron scattering program to address interfacial structures and properties of materials.
|
Instrument Scientist
Research interests: Microscopic dynamics in broadly defined soft matter, from simple and complex fluids to cells and organisms. |
|
|
Professor of Chemistry and Physics
Research interests: Complex fluids and polymers, elastic and quasi-elastic neutron scattering and large-scale MD simulations
|
Staff Scientist
Research interests: Understanding and discovery of emergent behavior in strongly correlated quantum materials. |
|
|
Associate Professor
Research interests: hard-condensed matter physics and focuses on the discovery and understanding of emergent states and phase behaviors in an array of quantum materials.
