Kathryn Levin is a Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Chicago and a member of the James Franck Institute. She earned her PhD from Harvard University and completed postdoctoral research at the University of Rochester and the University of California, Irvine, focusing on superconductivity. Levin has trained around 25 PhD students and has mentored numerous postdoctoral scholars. Her major administrative role includes being a co-Principal Investigator for the Science Technology Center on High Temperature Superconductors, where she organized significant research on high temperature cuprates and the BCS-BEC crossover. As a condensed matter theorist, her research primarily concentrates on superconductivity and superfluidity, with early investigations into superfluid helium-3 and heavy fermion superconductors. Currently, she is actively involved in exploring new exotic superconductors and their relationships with topological superconductors, particularly in bilayer graphene. Her research further intersects with atomic and molecular (AMO) physics, focusing on non-equilibrium behavior in both bosonic and fermionic superfluids, which contributes to an understanding of new quantum states of matter.
