Jason Joseph William Alexander Robinson FIMMM is a British academic, and Professor of Materials Physics at the University of Cambridge ^[1] in the Department of Materials Science & Metallurgy. He is also a Fellow of St John's College, Cambridge ^[2] and Distinguished Visiting Professor at City University of Hong Kong. He has worked extensively in the areas of superconductivity, superconducting spintronics, ^[3] spintronics, magnetism, quantum materials, and nanoelectronics. Particular research topics include the superconductor proximity effect, unconventional superconductivity, quantum and topological transport. ^{[4] [5]}

Research and career

Robinson received his PhD from the University of Cambridge in 2007 for research into strongly ferromagnetic Josephson junctions ^[6] under Prof. Mark Blamire. From 2008 to 2011 he was a Junior Research Fellow in St John's College, Cambridge, and between 2011 and 2018 a University Research Fellow of the Royal Society. ^[7] In 2015 he was appointed a lecturer in the University Cambridge, a Reader in 2016, and Full Professor in 2019. Since 2023, Robinson is also the Editor-in-Chief for the Journal of Superconductivity and Novel Magnetism .
