Kate A. Ross is a physicist, researcher, and assistant professor at Colorado State University. She is known for her research regarding emergent phenomena in correlated electronic materials.
Education Background
[edit]Kate completed her B.Sc in physics from the University of Waterloo in 2007. Her undergraduate research focused on frustrated pyrochlore magnets in an ultra-low temperature laboratory. She went on to continue this work during her Ph.D. at McMaster University which she completed in 2012.[1] She went on to hold a postdoctoral appointment at Johns Hopkins University, where she focused on neutron scattering. Dr. Ross then transitioned to Colorado State University where she worked as a postdoctoral fellow for the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada. In 2015, she took up a job as an assistant professor in physics at Colorado State University while conducting research as part of the Quantum Magnetism Group.[2] In 2022, the group became no longer active, and she took up a new position as part of her transition to a career in data science.[3]
Career/Research
[edit]Her current research looks into emergent phenomena in correlated electronic materials. She analyzes strongly interacting magnetic materials through crystal growth, starting from the synthesis.[4] Magnetic crystals offer many different emergent phenomena from near-neighbor interactions in large groups of magnetic ions. This work focuses on neutron scattering through probing static and dynamic correlations, which allows further understanding of the magnetic correlations in these kinds of materials.[5] Her primary goal is to find what is known as the Quantum Spin Liquid state, where magnetic moments move together in interesting ways.[4]
Awards
[edit]- She was awarded the Neutron Scattering Society of America Prize for Outstanding Student Research in 2014 when completing her Ph.D. at McMasters University.[6]
- In 2014, she was awarded the Alice Wilson Prize by the Royal Society of Canada while working on solid state synthesis techniques at Colorado State University.[6]
- She was awarded a two-year term in 2016 as a Canadian Institute for Advanced Research Azrieli Global Scholar in the Quantum Materials Program.[7]
- She won the George E. Valley Jr. Prize in 2017, from the American Physical Society. This was because of her research on "The elucidation of quantum frustrated magnetism and its expression in the ground state selection of pyrochlore magnets."[7]
- In 2018, she won the Lee Osheroff Richardson Science Prize for North America and Latin America. She received this award for her research regarding elucidation of exotic magnetic ground state and ground state detection in quantum frustrated magnets, using neutron scattering techniques at low temperatures in high magnetic fields.[7]
Publications
[edit]Dr. Ross has 37 publications since completing her Ph.D. and has an h-index of 21 (Google Scholar).[8]
