Alannah Hallas

Alannah Hallas is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics & Astronomy at The University of British Columbia. Her research focuses on experimental studies of quantum materials, including crystal growth, neutron scattering, and muon spin relaxation. Hallas is particularly interested in the design and synthesis of new quantum materials and their structural and magnetic properties. She is also involved in the CIFAR Quantum Materials Program as Co-Director. Her work includes the investigation of high entropy oxides and magnetic frustration in quantum systems. Hallas is affiliated with the Stewart Blusson Quantum Matter Institute and has contributed to several publications in leading journals in the field.

Alannah Hallas is an Associate Professor at the University of British Columbia, specializing in Quantum Materials, Magnetism, Materials Design, Crystal Growth, and Disorder. Her research explores the interplay between magnetic order, entropy, and disorder in complex oxides, with a focus on high-entropy oxides, pyrochlore spin ice, and quantum spin liquids. Hallas investigates how chemical pressure and crystal structure influence magnetic properties, using experimental techniques such as neutron scattering, muon spin relaxation, and heat capacity measurements. Her work contributes to understanding unconventional magnetism, frustration, and spin dynamics in materials with potential applications in quantum technologies.
