معرفی
Jason N. Hancock is a Professor and University Teaching Fellow in the Department of Physics at the University of Connecticut. His research focuses on experimental condensed matter physics, applied physics (including additive manufacturing and aerosol science), and physics education. He holds a PhD from the University of California, Santa Cruz, and has held academic positions at institutions such as Université de Genève and Stanford University. Hancock has received numerous awards, including the Innovative Scholarship Award (2023) and University Teaching Fellow designation (2020). His service includes leading roles in the UConn Quantum Consortium’s Education Subcommittee and proposal review panels at Brookhaven National Laboratory and Argonne National Laboratory.
His education includes a B.Sc. (Highest Honors) from Georgia Tech (1998), M.Sc. and Ph.D. from UC Santa Cruz (2000 and 2005). Research interests span quantum effects, topological materials, and spectroscopic techniques like inelastic X-ray scattering. He actively mentors students and teaches courses such as Quantum Mechanics, Advanced Laboratory Writing, and Optics with Laboratory.
Key awards include recognition for teaching innovation (shared with Diego Valente) and national fellowships in science education. His work bridges fundamental physics with applied challenges, such as pandemic-related respirator development and quantum material characterization.
