1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 We wanted to know a few things about Quantum materials. Who better to ask than Erica W. Carlson, Ph.D., a Professor of Physics at Purdue University. Prof. Carlson holds a BS in Physics from the California Institute of Technology (1994), as well as a Ph.D. in Physics from UCLA (2000). A theoretical physicist at the Purdue Quantum Science and Engineering Institute, Prof. Carlson researches electronic phase transitions in quantum materials. In 2015, she was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society &quot;for theoretical insights into the critical role of electron nematicity, disorder, and noise in novel phases of strongly correlated electron systems and predicting unique characteristics.&quot; Prof. Carlson has been on the faculty at Purdue University since 2003, where she was recently named a &quot;150th Anniversary Professor&quot; in recognition of teaching excellence.&amp;nbsp; She is a founding member of Innovation in Quantum Pedagogy and its Relation to Culture (IQ-PARC).&amp;nbsp; Her latest work popularizing science can be found at youtube.com/@TheQuantumAge . &amp;nbsp; Superheroes of Science https://www.purdue.edu/science/K12/sos.html <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/31275342/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/content/171976492
