University of Illinois Physics Profile

Professor Dale Van Harlingen received his bachelor's degree in physics in 1972, and his Ph.D. in physics in 1977, from The Ohio State University. His thesis title was "Thermoelectric Flux Effects in Superconducting Indium". After a year as a NATO postdoctoral fellow in the Cavendish Laboratory at the University of Cambridge, England, working with Professor John Waldram, he held a postdoctoral research position at the University of California at Berkeley for three years, where he worked on non-equilibrium superconductivity and dc SQUID electronics with Professor John Clarke.

He joined the Department of Physics faculty at the University of Illinois as an assistant professor in 1981, and is currently a professor of physics at the Materials Research Laboratory at the University of Illinois.

Professor Van Harlingen became a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 1996. He received the prestigious Oliver E. Buckley Prize in Condensed Matter Physics from the APS in 1998 and was elected a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1999. In 2001 he was awarded the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship. Professor Van Harlingen is a member of the National Academy of Sciences since 2003.

Research Area: experimental low temperature physics, superconductivity, microfabrication of superconductor devices, scanning probe microscopy, mesoscopic systems
