Jane E. G. Lipson

Jane E. G. Lipson is a Professor of Chemistry and the Albert W. Smith Professor at Dartmouth College, where she also serves as an Associate Dean for the Sciences. Her research bridges microscopic chemical properties with macroscopic material behavior through simulations and statistical mechanics.

Education:

• Ph.D., University of Toronto
• M.Sc., University of Toronto
• B.Sc., University of Toronto

Research Focus:

• Soft condensed matter systems
• Glass transition and dynamic heterogeneity
• Thermodynamics of polymer blends and thin films
• Free volume theory in glassy dynamics
• Interface effects on mobility
• Correlation of bulk and film properties

Publication Trends: Recent work emphasizes polymer dynamics, thermodynamic characterization, and predictive modeling across bulk and thin film systems. Topics include phase separation in blends, substrate effects on mobility, and novel free volume theories validated experimentally.
