Nadya Mason is the Dean of the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering at the University of Chicago, where she also serves as the Robert J. Zimmer Professor of Molecular Engineering and Interim Vice President for Science, Innovation, and Partnerships. She is a leading physicist whose research explores how electrons behave in low-dimensional and correlated materials—work that advances understanding in areas critical to quantum communication, information storage, and quantum computing. BBefore becoming Dean of UChicago PME, Dr. Mason was the Rosalyn S. Yalow Professor of Physics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where she directed the Illinois Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology and served as Founding Director of the Illinois Materials Research Science and Engineering Center. Dr. Mason is an advocate for communication and inclusivity in science and can be seen in a TED talk on “Scientific Curiosity.” Professor Mason received her A.B. in Physics from Harvard University in 1995 and her Ph.D. in Physics from Stanford University in 2001, where she studied phase transitions in two-dimensional superconductors in the group of Aharon Kapitulnik. She was later a Junior Fellow in the Harvard Society of Fellows, where she worked with Charles Marcus and Michael Tinkham on carbon nanotubes and nanostructured superconductors.
