Professor Jason Robinson is a Technology Platform Lead for Physical Vapour Deposition and Characterisation.
Jason has a Professorial Chair in Materials Physics at the University of Cambridge where he is the joint Head of the Department of Materials Science & Metallurgy. He directs the Quantum Materials & Devices Group and the Centre for Materials Physics.
His experimental research is concerned with foundational science to develop advanced multifunctional materials and nanoelectronic devices to approach key challenges in spintronics, superconductivity, and quantum electronics research. Many of the materials and devices his group investigate are new, promising disruptive science and long-term potential for energy-efficient memory and logic for future large-scale computing applications. The research is highly collaborative, making use of a broad range of experimental techniques as well as theory.
Jason is particularly interested in the discovery of the nature, properties, and mechanisms which determine the interfacial states that arise in hybrid materials and devices, and which may dominate over bulk equilibrium properties at atomically controlled interfaces. He has made major contributions to the fields of superconductivity and spintronics, including the discovery of spin-polarised triplet Cooper pairs, and pioneering superconducting spintronics.
