معرفی
Rachel S. Goldman is a Professor at the University of Michigan with joint appointments in Materials Science & Engineering, Physics, and Electrical Engineering & Computer Science. She serves as the Maria Goeppert Mayer Collegiate Professor (2023–present) and Associate Director of Applied Physics (2010–present). Her research focuses on experimental materials science, particularly in semiconductor films, nanostructures, and heterostructures, with applications in quantum computing, spintronics, and optoelectronics.
Education:
- B.S. in Physics, University of Michigan (1988)
- M.S. in Applied Physics, Cornell University (1992)
- Ph.D. in Materials Science, University of California, San Diego (1995)
Research Interests: Goldman develops strategies for atomic manipulation in inorganic materials, emphasizing processing-structure-property correlations. Her work spans high-efficiency solar cells, long-wavelength light emitters, high-temperature electronics, and quantum computing, using ultra-high vacuum techniques like molecular-beam epitaxy and scanning tunneling microscopy, alongside computational modeling.
Scientific Awards:
- Fellow of AAAS (2021), APS (2012), and AVS (2012)
- National Science Foundation Career Award (1998–2003)
- Peter Mark Memorial Award (2002) and MRS Graduate Student Gold Award (1994)
- Williams' Award (1988) and Alumni Giving Scholarship (1984)
Advising and Grants: Goldman has advised numerous graduate students and led over 20 grants, including NSF MRSEC (2023–2029) and a DoD MURI project (2023–2026) on topological states in dislocations. She also chairs editorial roles for Journal of Applied Physics (2017–present) and serves on multiple national review panels.
