Biography

Jackson Miller received his PhD (Physics) from Victoria University of Wellington in Wellington, New Zealand, in 2022. He was a postdoctoral research fellow also at Victoria University of Wellington from 2022-2023, working in the spintronics group, studying the magnetism of rare-earth nitrides. He is now a Scientist at Victoria University of Wellington’s Robinson Research Institute where he is pursuing the integration of the same rare-earth nitride materials in various low-temperature electronics technologies.

Research interests

Jackson's background is in experimental condensed matter physics. That is, testing the properties (structural, magnetic, electronic) of magnetic and/or superconducting materials. Interesting properties become the basis for useful device functionalities, and this has led directly into research into the application of these materials. Currently, Jackson's research is primarily concentrated in Low-Temperature Electronics, where exotic states of matter can be leveraged toward real technological problems. 

The more you understand a material, the better placed you are to say what it can and can't do.
