Jared M. Allred is an Associate Professor at the University of Alabama in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry , affiliated with the College of Arts and Sciences. His research focuses on solid state chemistry, inorganic materials, and magnetic systems, utilizing advanced x-ray and neutron diffraction techniques to explore structure-property relationships. Education: BS from Case Western Reserve University (2007), PhD from Princeton University (2012), Postdoctoral work at Argonne National Laboratory (2012-2015). Research Interests: The Allred group investigates inorganic materials with functional properties, particularly magnetic and multiferroic systems. They emphasize atomic-scale characterization to guide synthesis of materials with tailored electronic, magnetic, and structural behaviors. Recent work includes studies on 1D superconductors, layered chalcogenides, and transition metal oxides. Scientific Contributions: His publications span high-impact journals like Nature Physics and Physical Review Letters , addressing topics in superconductivity, magnetic ordering, and structural transitions. Emerging themes include materials engineering across localized-delocalized electron boundaries and geometric frustration effects. Students: Advisees include PhD graduates Matt Davenport and Tyra Douglas , and current student Nolan Stager . News Highlights: • June 2022: Shared educational resources on scientific image formats. • Jan 2022: Published work on geometric frustration in Journal of Physical Chemistry C . • July 2021: Physical Review Letters publication on fragile 3D ordering in V1-xMoxO2 under extreme conditions.
