Joshua Cohn

Joshua Cohn is a Professor and Senior Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Education in the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Miami. His research investigates charge, spin, and heat transport phenomena in novel materials at low temperatures. His laboratory specializes in measuring electronic, magnetic, and thermal properties of crystalline specimens using advanced cryogenic techniques.

Cohn's research focuses on quantum phenomena in condensed matter systems, particularly in quasi-one-dimensional conductors, magnetic materials, and superconductors. His work examines anisotropic transport properties, thermoelectric effects, and magnetic ordering in complex materials. Recent publications explore thermal conductivity in magnetic systems, photocatalytic materials design, and phosphorous recovery technologies.

His experimental approaches include thin film deposition techniques like magnetron sputtering and pulsed-laser deposition combined with structural characterization methods. The research group maintains capabilities for low-temperature measurements under high magnetic fields to probe fundamental transport mechanisms in quantum materials.
