Biography

Elizabeth Blackburn is a Professor at Lund University, specializing in Synchrotron Radiation Research. Her research focuses on exploring the interactions between electrons and materials, a rich field that presents complex physical problems, particularly due to the challenges presented by a large number of electronic many-body interactions. These interactions lead to fundamentally quantum mechanical states, including superconductivity and magnetism. Blackburn's group employs advanced scattering techniques, particularly neutron and X-ray methods, to investigate the structure and dynamics associated with strong electron correlations. This work utilizes a range of neutron and synchrotron radiation facilities across Europe and globally, including the European Spallation Source in Lund. She has been actively involved in several projects, such as investigating electronic instabilities in cuprate superconductors and developing neutron polarization capabilities.
