Laura H. Greeneis the Marie Krafft Professor of Physics atFlorida State University[1][2]and chief scientist at theNational High Magnetic Field Laboratory.She was previously a professor of physics at theUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.In September 2021, she was appointed to thePresident's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology(PCAST).[3]
She is noted for her research on Andreev bound states and is an expert instrongly correlatedfermionic systems. During the discoveries of the firsthigh transition temperature superconductorsshe and collaborators fromAT&T laboratories,were amongst the first to report on the role of oxygen and crystal structure in the copper-oxides.
Greene is a champion for diversity and is active in promoting equal rights for women and minorities. She is a member of theAmerican Physical SocietyProfessional Skills Development (previously COACh) team, a cohort of APS members who are trained to facilitate sessions that aim to strengthen women's communication, mentoring and negotiation skills inSTEM fields.[4]
Biography[edit]
Greene grew up inCleveland, Ohio.
Greene studied physics as an undergraduate atOhio State Universityand was awarded a cum laude BS, (1974) degree and Master's (MS) in 1978. For higher education she joinedCornell University.At Cornell, first she was awarded a MS in experimental physics (1980) and then in (1984) she completed a PhD degree in condensed matter physics.
Career[edit]
With her PhD she joined the fabled AT&TBell Labsin Murray Hills in New Jersey (NJ) and later Bellcore, Red Bank also in NJ.
The first ever evidence of, high-temperature superconductivity was reported (1986) byGeorg BednorzandK. Alex Müller,the two would obtain theNobel Prize in Physicsin 1987 for their discovery. Within months, the IBM report was followed up with discoveries of far higher temperature superconductors from all over the world and publicized by professional events, like the March meetings of theAmerican Physical Society(APS) in 1987, also known theWoodstock of physics.
Greene and colleagues then still at AT&T discovered the sensitivity of the superconducting transition, in the123 materials,to the exact amount of oxygen present, as well as the interdependence of atomic crystal structure and chemical composition with superconductivity. Greene's contribution was recognized in the first book review on the subject.[5]Greene was also a panelist at the Woodstock-II in the follow-up APS March meeting in 1988.
From 1992 to 2015 she was a permanent member of the faculty of theUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign(UIUC). At UIUC she held the Swanlund endowed chair professor of physics. Since 2015, she has been on the faculty atFlorida State University(FSU) in the department of physics and chief scientist at theNational High Magnetic Field Laboratory.She is also a member of the physics faculty at theUniversity of Florida.
Personal life[edit]
Music was important in her life, she enjoys performing and is a regular participant in the APS March Meeting "Physics Songs" symposia. She is the mother of two grown up sons.
Research[edit]
Greene research is centered aroundunconventionalor novel superconducting materials, especially byAndreev reflection(PCAR) spectroscopy, demonstration of Andreev bound states, and a wide range ofsymmetry breakingphenomena, including time-reversal symmetry breaking. Her recent work include quantum mechanics on a macroscopic level,strongly correlated materials,PCAR experiments inHeavy fermion superconductorsystems, and others.
Outreach and societal awareness[edit]
Greene is committed to equal rights for women and minorities in education and in the work place, particularly when it comes to the hard sciences and the engineering professions; she also actively promotes awareness and sensitivity towards people who face difficult health challenges. She is a Co-founder of the Forum on Outreach and Engaging the Public (FOEP), and a member of Committee on Informing the Public, both parts of the American Physical Society. Greene was on 'BOOST/Grantwriting/Indonesia Advisory Board'; part of COACH International, for the Kavli Frontiers of Science Indonesia Meeting, Bali, Indonesia, and she has served on the Argonne Education and Outreach Council for the Division of Educational Programs,Argonne National Laboratory(Argonne-U/Chicago-LLC).
