Dr. Sajna Hameed received the 2022 Prize for Outstanding Student Research
The Prize for Outstanding Student Research awarded from the Neutron Scattering Society of America with the citation: "For the elucidation of magnetism and plastic deformation effects in perovskite titanates"
The Neutron Scattering Society of America (NSSA) established the Prize for Outstanding Student Research to recognize outstanding accomplishments in the general area of neutron scattering by graduate or undergraduate students who have performed much of their work at North American neutron facilities. Nominees must be either current graduate students or scientists within two years of receiving their PhD.
Dr. Sajna Hameed is an experimental physicist and a pioneer in the use of plastic deformation as a knob with which to manipulate and study quantum materials. Her Ph.D. research focused on the classic perovskite SrTiO3 ( STO), several rare-earth titanates that are model (doped) Mott insulators, and ionic-liquid-gating effects in the Mott insulator NiS2.
