Brett D. Ellman

Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at Kent State University. Research focuses on ultra-low temperature physics, particularly quantum mechanical phenomena in materials like exotic superconductors and heavy-fermion compounds (e.g., UPt3). Uses experimental techniques including thermal conduction, ultrasonic attenuation, and high-energy phonon spectroscopy to study superconducting phases near absolute zero. Additional interests include particle astrophysics and scanning probe microscopy.

Education: Ph.D. in Physics from University of Chicago (1992). Lab equipped with cryogenic systems and materials preparation facilities supporting interdisciplinary research.
