Julie Ann Borchers (born 1962) is an American physicist.
Borchers received her B.S. in physics at the University of Dayton in 1984. She completed a Ph.D. at University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign in 1990. [1] Borcher's doctoral advisor was Myron Salamon. Her dissertation was titled Structural and magnetic properties of erbium thin films and Er/Y superlattices. [2]
Borchers is part of the Neutron-Condensed Matter Science Group at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. [1] She works as associate director for the Center for High Resolution Neutron Scattering (CHRNS) and is an instrument scientist for the polarized beam reflectometer (PBR). [1]
She acts as chair-elect for the APS Topical Group on Magnetism and its Applications (GMAG), working on bringing together students, scientists and engineers to advance the study and applications of magnetism. [3] Her term as chair-elect is May 2020 to March 2021. [4]
She was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2002. [5]
She was awarded NIST 2022 Distinguished Mentoring Award. [6]
Frances Hellman is a physicist who was dean of the division of mathematical and physical sciences at the University of California, Berkeley from 2015 until 2021. Her primary academic focus has been the study of the thermodynamic properties of novel solid materials, especially thin film semiconducting, superconducting, and magnetic materials. She has served as chair of the physics department and holds a dual appointment in the materials science and engineering department.
Myriam Paula Sarachik was a Belgian-born American experimental physicist who specialized in low-temperature solid state physics. From 1996, she was a distinguished professor of physics at the City College of New York.
Eugene Michael Chudnovsky is a Distinguished Professor of Physics at Herbert H. Lehman College of the City University of New York (CUNY) and a member of the doctoral faculty at the CUNY Graduate School. Chudnovsky is a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS), elected 1993 for "seminal contributions to random ferromagnetism, macroscopic quantum tunneling, and hexatic order in high Tc materials". He is mostly known for his work on quantum tunneling of magnetization. Chudnovsky explained magnetic avalanches experimentally observed in molecular magnets as deflagration.
