معرفی
Jennifer Fowlie is an experimentalist at the intersection of condensed matter physics and materials science. In Autumn 2024, she joined the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Northwestern University as a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor. Her work focuses on synthesizing and characterizing quantum matter heterostructures, particularly correlated quantum oxides, to uncover fundamental properties of matter.
- Ph.D. in Physics, University of Geneva, Switzerland
- M.Phys in Physics, University of St Andrews, Scotland
Her research leverages transition metal oxide compounds and nanometric epitaxial heterostructures to explore emergent phenomena like magnetic, electronic, and optical behaviors. She employs advanced synthesis techniques (e.g., pulsed laser deposition with post-processing soft chemistry) and characterization tools (low-temperature transport, synchrotron x-ray techniques, neutron scattering, muon spin rotation) to engineer materials with exotic properties.
Jennifer’s publications highlight her work on nickel oxide films, infinite-layer nickelates, and rare earth nickelates. These studies investigate metal-insulator transitions, intrinsic magnetism, and structural symmetry crossovers, reflecting her focus on correlated electron systems and quantum oxide engineering.
