معرفی
Jason Kawasaki is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Materials Science & Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, College of Engineering. His research focuses on heteroepitaxy, Heusler compounds, magnetism, topological states, shape memory alloys, surfaces and interfaces, and advanced characterization techniques like MBE, STM, and ARPES.
- PhD, University of California-Santa Barbara (2014)
- BS, Princeton University (2009)
His work explores strain and strain gradient engineering in quantum materials, remote epitaxy through graphene barriers, and synthesis of Heusler compounds with applications in superconductivity, flexomagnetism, and topological materials.
Recent publications highlight trends in molecular beam epitaxy of oxide films, strain-gradient superconductivity, and graphene-based nanomesh synthesis. Awards include the 2024 Peter Mark Memorial Award, 2024 Vilas Associate Award, and multiple early-career recognitions from AVS, NSF, and DARPA.
- NSF CAREER Award (2018)
- DARPA Young Faculty Award (2019)
- AFOSR Young Investigator (2021)
- Kavli Postdoctoral Fellowship (2014)
- Materials Research Society Graduate Student Gold Award (2012)
He teaches graduate courses in materials synthesis, surface properties, and research/thesis work. His lab emphasizes experimental techniques like MBE and STM for probing quantum and nanoscale phenomena.
