معرفی
Lauren Garten is an Assistant Professor in the School of Materials Science and Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology. She joined in Fall 2021 and leads a research group focused on developing advanced materials for energy and electronic applications, particularly at the intersection of ferroelectricity, ferromagnetism, electronics, and photovoltaics. Her work emphasizes metastable materials synthesis, thin film stabilization, and multifunctional device design.
Education & Career: Garten holds a B.S. in Ceramic Engineering from Missouri University of Science and Technology (200?), a Ph.D. in Materials Science from Pennsylvania State University (201?), and completed postdoctoral research at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratory, and the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), where she received the Jerome and Isabella Karle Distinguished Scholar Fellowship for multiferroic materials research.
Research Interests: Her research spans
- Ceramic composites and nanostructures for energy storage
- Ferroelectric and multiferroic materials for sensors and electronics
- Metastable thin film synthesis and stabilization
- Photovoltaic device development
Awards:
- NRC Research Associateship (National Academies)
- Jerome and Isabella Karle Distinguished Scholar Fellowship (NRL)
Lab Team & Mentorship: Garten advises students in materials science and engineering, including Jonathan Chin, Marshall Frye, and others. Her group collaborates on projects funded by grants from NRL and other institutions.
