Gregory S. Boebinger

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gregory Scott Boebinger (* 1959 ) is an American physicist , professor at Florida State University and director of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee , Florida .

Life

Boebinger did his PhD. in 1986 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology . In 1987 he moved to Bell Laboratories before becoming director of the Pulsed Magnet Laboratory in Los Alamos , one of the three facilities of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, in 1998 . Six years later, Boebinger moved to Florida State University, where he became director of the facility there for the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory. He became director of all facilities at the same time. Since 2004, he has also been a full professor at Florida State University in Tallahassee.

research

Boebinger investigated the transport properties of cuprate high-temperature superconductors under high magnetic fields and discovered a metal-insulator junction with an unusual temperature and magnetic field dependence of the electrical conductivity and the specific heat capacity. He also worked on experiments on the integer and fractional quantum Hall effect in two-dimensional electron systems as well as on topological insulators under high magnetic fields.

Prizes and awards

In 1977 Boebinger received the National Merit Scholarship. In 1996 he became a Fellow of the American Physical Society and in 2017 Boebinger was also elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences .
