Jiwei Lu
Dr. Lu is a Research Associate Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at University of Virginia. He received his PhD degree in Materials Science from University of California Santa Barbara in 2006. He has a very strong interest in the metal-insulator transition of strongly correlated oxides. His group investigates vanadium dioxide, niobium dioxides and other complex oxides based on perovskite structures.[1-5] His research also includes magnetic thin films and nanostructures pertinent to spintronic devices.[6-10] He was co-PI for Non-Volatile Logic project supported by DARPA, PI in DTRA sponsored radiation effects in spintronic devices project, and PI for NSF sponsored Spin Torque device project. He is a recipient of FEST award at the University of Virginia, Edward C. Henry Award from the American Ceramic Society. His industry interactions include projects with Grandis, and Northrop Grumman.
