Biography

Daniel Lathrop received a B.A. in physics from the University of California at Berkeley in 1987, and a Ph.D. in physics from the University of Texas at Austin in 1991. He then served at Yale University as a postdoctoral fellow, research affiliate, and lecturer, and as Assistant Professor at Emory University. He joined the University of Maryland in 1997, the year he received a Presidential Early Career Award from the National Science Foundation. Daniel Lathrop is now Professor of Physics and Professor of Geology and a Fellow of the American Physical Society. His research in the Nonlinear Dynamics group at Maryland focuses on turbulent fluid flows, geomagnetism, and experiments on superfluid helium. Dr. Lathrop served as the Director of the Institute for Research in Electronics and Applied Physics from 2006 to 2012. He received the Stanley Corrsin Award in 2012 from the American Physical Society for this work in quantum fluids. He is a UMD Distinguished Scholar-Teacher.

Biography

Mohammad Hafezi studied for two years at Sharif University before completing his undergraduate degree at École Polytechnique in 2003. He received his Ph.D. in Physics from Harvard University in 2009. He was a senior research associate at the Joint Quantum Institute before joining the faculty of UMD. His group aims at the theoretical and experimental investigation of quantum properties of light-matter interaction, for applications in classical and quantum information processing and sensing. He received a Sloan Research Fellowship and Office of Naval Research Young Investigator award in 2015.

Biography

Richard Greene is known for his many years of productive research on the physics of novel superconducting materials, at the IBM research laboratories and at the University of Maryland. He and his collaborators discovered the first known polymeric and two-dimensional organic superconductors in the 1970s. Since 1986, Dr. Greene has done extensive research on high-Tc superconductors, primarily electron-doped cuprates and iron-based materials. He has written several well-known reviews about these two superconducting systems. He was also involved in the development of the relaxation technique for specific heat measurements, a technique that is now widely used in the Quantum Design PPMS. His publications are very highly cited, with over 33,000 citations and an h-index of 96. He was the founding director of the Center for Superconductivity Research at the University of Maryland in 1989. He is a Fellow of the APS and the AAAS and the APS Dissertation Award for Experimental Condensed Matter Physics is named in his honor. In 2022, he was named a University of Maryland Distinguished University Professor.
