Carmen C. Almasan received her Ph.D. in 1989 from University of South Carolina. She joined the �鶹ӰԺ physics faculty in 1995. Prior to this, she held research appointments at the University of California San Diego. Her area of research is experimental low-temperature condensed matter physics with emphasis on the study of the phase diagram of “exotic” unconventional superconductors, such as heavy fermions, cuprates, and Fe-based pnictides, that reveals an intricate interplay between magnetism and superconductivity and the striking effects arising from this interplay, as well as the heavy fermion behavior and the non-Fermi liquid behavior. The interest in these remarkable new materials is twofold: their potential for technological applications, and the possibility that new mechanisms are responsible for their novel physical properties.
