University of Maryland Profile

About

Working in several areas of condensed matter physics, Johnpierre Paglione leads a research effort focused on both sample synthesis and low-temperature experimental measurements of novel materials, including unconventional superconductors, strongly correlated electron systems and topological insulators.

His expertise is exemplified by pivotal work on quantum criticality in heavy-fermion materials, the discovery of new superconducting systems, and synthesis and exploration of novel topological insulator materials.
