Andrew Kent is a Professor of Physics at New York University, having joined the NYU faculty in 1994. His research interests are in the physics of magnetic nanostructures, nanomagnetic devices and magnetic information storage. This includes studies of magnetic quantum tunneling and coherence in single molecule magnets (SMMs), and spin-dependent transport and spin-transfer in nanomagnets. At NYU, his laboratory has equipment for the fabrication and characterization of nanomagnets, including thin film deposition, optical lithography, magnetometry, magnetooptics, magnetotransport, low temperature and high speed magnetotransport experiments. He has fabricated epitaxial thin film nanostructures to investigate spin dependent scattering of conduction electrons by domain walls in ferromagnets. He has also conducted detailed experimental studies of the interplay between thermal fluctuations and quantum tunneling in high spin (S = 10) SMMs. He has a broad range of research experience in the study of magnetic and superconducting materials, beginning with his dissertation research at Stanford University under the guidance of Prof. Ted Geballe and including a postdoctoral position at the IBM T. J. Watson Research Center.
