Biography

Eli Zoghlin came to the Wilson Group from Carnegie Mellon University, where he also studied Materials Science with a research focus on magnetism in amorphous nanocomposites. Eli's first graduate project involved studying the metal-insulator transition in pyrochlore iridates with a variety of thermodynamic, spectroscopic and scattering probes. While he has experience in a number of crystal growth methods, the quest for single-crystal iridates led him to the project of pushing the boundaries of high-pressure floating-zone growth. Eli's current focus is in materials exploration with high-pressure, laser floating-zone furnace (LAPIS) as well as continuing development of furnace designs.
