Susan Coppersmith, Research Associate Investigator, University of New South Wales Sydney

Professor Susan Coppersmith is a theoretical condensed matter physicist whose current research focuses on the development of semiconductor technology to create advanced quantum-coherent nanodevices, including the development of novel strategies to achieve artificially engineered topological materials in Research Theme 1.

Her work has yielded new understanding of complex materials that include glasses, biominerals, quantum magnets, nonlinear dynamics of nonequilibrium systems, and granular matter. She has been elected as a fellow of the American Physical Society, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and she has been elected to membership in the National Academy of Sciences of the United States.
