Departmental homepageJason Robinson has a professorial chair in Materials Physics at the University of Cambridge where he is a joint head of the Department of Materials Science & Metallurgy, director of the Quantum Materials & Devices Group and co-director of the Centre for Materials Physics.
Professor Robinson teaches courses in Part I, II, and III of the Materials Science within the Natural Sciences Tripos.
His experimental research focuses on the development of quantum materials and devices, approaching key problems in the fields of spintronics, superconductivity and quantum technologies. He has made major contributions to these fields, including the discovery of triplet Cooper pairs in hybrid superconductor/magnetic devices and pioneering the field of superconducting spintronics. The research explores questions in basic science and also the development of materials for low energy electronics.
