BIOGRAPHY

Emily Crabb joined the 海角论坛 faculty in 2022 as an assistant professor of physics.

RESEARCH

Crabb's research interests are in the fields of computational condensed matter physics and materials science. She utilizes supercomputers to simulate how systems interact on the atomic level. Her current work focuses on how lithium ions are transported inside batteries and on how photons interact with magnetic metamaterials. She also involves undergraduate researchers in her projects.
