Profile
Jeremy Levy received his B.A. in Physics from Harvard University and his Ph.D. also in Physics from UC Santa Barbara. After a postdoctoral position there, he joined the University of Pittsburgh in 1996, and is now a Distinguished Professor of Condensed Matter Physics in the Department of Physics and Astronomy. He is Director of the Pittsburgh Quantum Institute, the Center for Oxide-Semiconductor Materials for Quantum Computation, a Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) on Quantum Preservation, Simulation and Transfer in Oxide Nanostructures, a NSF Nanoelectronics for 2020 and Beyond program, and a Class of 2015 National Security Science and Engineering Faculty Fellow (NSSEFF).
Research
The mission of the LevyLab is to explore novel phenomena in solid state systems in order to provide the physical foundation for future technologies. Their research centers around a number of intersecting areas including:
oxide nanoelectronics
experimental realizations for quantum computation
semiconductor and oxide spintronics
quantum transport
nanoscale superconductivity
nanoscale optics
lattice phenomena and ferroelectricity
