J. Nathan Hohman

J. Nathan Hohman is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Connecticut, affiliated with the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. His research focuses on designing nanomaterials and nanointerfaces for applications in semiconductors, superconductors, and biomedical coatings against pathogens. He employs techniques like electron microscopy and femtosecond crystallography to study material structure and dynamics.

• Education:
• B.S., Butler University (2000-2004)
• Ph.D., Pennsylvania State University (2004-2011)
• Postdoc, Stanford University (2012-2014)
• Staff Scientist, Molecular Foundry, Berkeley Lab (2015-2019)

Research emphasizes low-dimensional materials, hybrid perovskites, and MOCHAs (metal organic chalcogenide assemblies) to explore novel material properties. Applications target energy storage, sensors, and advanced manufacturing. His work bridges synthetic chemistry with functional material design.
