ERIC W. HUDSON, Associate
Professor of Physics
Research Interests
Professor Hudson's main interests lie in nanoscale investigations
of strongly correlated electron systems, such as high temperature
superconductors (HTSC). In particular, he is interested in the fundamental
question of how defects and disorder affect these systems, as well
as the more practical question of what observations about these
effects at the microscopic level can tell us about the macroscopic
nature of these systems.

Biographical Sketch
Professor Eric Hudson joined the Department of Physics as an Assistant
Professor in January 2002. He received a B.A. in Physics/Linguistics
in 1992 from the University of Chicago, and completed his Ph.D.
at the University of California, Berkeley, in 1999. After a brief
postdoctoral tenure at UC-Berkeley, continuing his research on scanning
tunneling microscopy (STM) of impurities and disorder in superconductors,
he became an NRC Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Electron
Physics Group at the National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST), studying spin polarized STM.
