معرفی
Dr. Alannah Hallas is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics & Astronomy at the University of British Columbia (UBC), with a joint appointment at the Stewart Blusson Quantum Matter Institute (SBQMI). She leads the Quantum Materials Design Lab, focusing on crystal growth and characterization of quantum materials using neutron scattering, muon spin relaxation, and X-ray techniques. Her research explores structural, magnetic, and electronic properties of materials such as high-entropy oxides, frustrated magnets, and topological semimetals. She holds a PhD from McMaster University and was a postdoctoral fellow at Rice University before joining UBC in 2019.
Research: Interdisciplinary work spans condensed matter physics and chemistry, emphasizing disorder-driven phenomena in quantum materials. Key areas include entropy engineering in oxides, magnetic frustration, and topological properties. Her lab employs advanced techniques like floating zone growth and high-pressure synthesis.
Awards: Sloan Research Fellow (2023-2025), IUPAP Early Career Magnetism Prize (2023), UBC Killam Teaching Prize (2023), CIFAR Azrieli Global Scholar (2019-2021), Bryan R. Coles Prize (2022), and 2024 UBC Killam Accelerator Fellowship.
Labs/Teams: Quantum Materials Design Lab at SBQMI. Collaborations include CIFAR Quantum Materials Program (Co-Director), Max Planck Institute, and TRIUMF. Hosts summer students and mentors MSc/PhD researchers in crystal growth and material characterization.
