Lia Krusin-Elbaum

Lia Krusin-Elbaum is a physicist whose research studies the design, fabrication, and electrochemical properties of complex nanostructures including nano-scale quantum electronics, superconductors,[1] spintronics,[2] and topological insulators.[3] She is a professor of physics at the City College of New York.[4]

Education and career

Krusin-Elbaum completed her Ph.D. at New York University in 1979. Her dissertation, Magnetic properties of aluminosilicate glasses in very weak magnetic fields, was supervised by Samuel J. Williamson.[5]

She came to work for IBM at the Thomas J. Watson Research Center as a postdoctoral researcher in 1979, and in 1981 she became a permanent research staff member there. She was head of the complex materials research team from 1989 until 2009; in 2010 she moved to her present position as a professor at the City College of New York.[4]

Recognition

Krusin-Elbaum was elected as a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) in 1993, after a nomination from the APS Division of Condensed Matter Physics, "for fundamental work on the magnetic properties of high temperature superconductors".[1]
