John Ketterson is a Fayerweather Professor at Northwestern University in the Department of Physics and Astronomy. He received his PhD from the University of Chicago in 1962. His research focuses on the magnetic superconducting properties of materials, particularly those associated with collective quantum behavior. He investigates both linear and non-linear optical phenomena with a particular emphasis on excitons and plasmons in bulk materials and thin films. He directs the Magnetic Physical Properties Measurement Facility, a non-profit laboratory that provides accurate measurements of magnetization, magnetic susceptibility, microwave absorption, and thermal transport properties, supporting research across physics, chemistry, biology, materials science, and geology. Ketterson's contributions to the field are recognized through his fellowship in the American Physical Society and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
