Juan Chamorro
Assistant Professor, Materials Science and Engineering
Chamorro holds a Ph.D. in chemistry from Johns Hopkins University in 2021, where he researched the chemistry of quantum materials, and was an NSF MPS-Ascend Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of California, Santa Barbara from 2021–2024. His research at Carnegie Mellon will focus on quantum materials synthesis, crystal growth, and structural and physical properties characterization through in-house measurements and X-ray and neutron scattering experiments at national and international facilities. This research is highly interdisciplinary and draws from knowledge and expertise in materials science, inorganic and solid state chemistry, and condensed matter physics.
