Nadya Mason

Nadya Mason is Dean of the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering and Robert J. Zimmer Professor at the University of Chicago. Her experimental research investigates quantum phenomena in nanoscale materials for next-generation computing technologies.

Key research directions:

• Electronic properties of low-dimensional systems (nanowires, atomically thin membranes)
• Proximity effects in superconductor-chiral magnet heterostructures
• Strain-induced pseudomagnetic fields in 2D materials
• Nonlinear transport in correlated electron systems

Mason's work bridges fundamental quantum physics with applications in quantum information processing and energy-efficient electronics.
