معرفی
Jason Khoury is an Assistant Professor in the School of Molecular Sciences at Arizona State University (ASU), affiliated with the Navrotsky-Eyring Center for Materials of the Universe (MotU). He holds a B.S. from The Ohio State University (2015), a Ph.D. from Northwestern University (2020), and was an Arnold O. Beckman Postdoctoral Fellow at Princeton University (2020–2023). His research focuses on quantum materials with strongly interacting electrons, particularly quasi-low-dimensional intermetallic compounds that exhibit phenomena like superconductivity, complex magnetism, and electronic instabilities. Key techniques include solid-state synthesis, X-ray crystallography, and low-temperature physical property characterization.
