Meet the Candidate

You are invited to meet our candidate for the DepartmentÕs Experimental Physicist position.  Dr. Jeffrey Clayhold is currently an Assistant Professor of Physics at Clemson University.  His experimental interests span oxide magnetic nanoclusters, quantum computing, and measurement of the electrical charge in magnetic vortices in superconductors.  His Ph.D. in physics is from Princeton and his undergraduate degree is from Caltech.  He also did postdoctoral research work in solid-state physics at ETH in Zurich, Switzerland, and served as a Research Assistant Professor at the Texas Center for Superconductivity. 

 

Thursday, January 8                 Noon                      Olin 04

Meet Jeffrey for his classroom talk, ÒQuantum ComputingÓ.

 

Friday, January 9                             Noon                      Room 117 LDC

Student-only lunch with Jeff.

 

Friday, January 9                     3:30-4:30                       Olin 02

Research Talk, ÒMeasuring the Superconducting Vortex Charge.Ó

 

Student-only reception in the Second Olin Lounge after the talk.  Come and share some interesting conversation with Jeff and enjoy some delicious refreshments.

 

Sign-up sheets for the classroom talk, student-only lunch, and research talk will available in classrooms and in AnnÕs office.
