Andrew Meyertholen

Andrew Meyertholen is an Associate Teaching Professor in the Department of Physics at UC San Diego, holding a Ph.D. from the same institution (2009). His research bridges physics education and condensed matter physics, with emphases on quantum materials and pedagogical innovation.

In physics education, he investigates factors influencing student success—including personality types, collaborative learning structures, and pre-university preparation. His work aims to optimize STEM curricula through empirical analysis of learning outcomes. In condensed matter physics, he explores quantum phenomena in low-dimensional systems, particularly exciton behavior in semiconductor nanostructures and charge transport mechanisms.

His publications reveal a temporal shift: recent articles (2014–2017) focus on educational methodologies, while earlier works (2007–2012) address fundamental condensed matter topics. This dual-track output demonstrates interdisciplinary engagement.
