Hilary Noad

Hilary Noad is a Group Leader in the Physics of Quantum Materials department at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids in Dresden, Germany, a position she has held since 2024. Previously, she was a Post-doctoral Research Scientist at the same institute from 2018 to 2023.

Her educational background includes a Ph.D. and M.S. in Physics from Stanford University, USA, and a Bachelor of Arts and Science from McMaster University, Canada.

Hilary Noad's research focuses on unconventional superconductivity, particularly through experimental measurements under mechanical strain. Her work lies at the core of quantum materials research, aiming to understand emergent electronic states in novel materials under external perturbations. This involves low-temperature and high-precision experimental techniques to probe superconducting properties.

She is the recipient of the prestigious Humboldt Post-doctoral Research Fellowship (2019–2021), which supported her research in Germany. This award reflects international recognition of her scientific potential and achievements.

Hilary Noad leads an independent research group, indicating a senior scientific role with leadership responsibilities. While no formal students or advisees are listed, her group likely includes junior researchers and collaborators. She has not been mentioned as involved in teaching or academic administration.
