Juan Chamorro

Juan Chamorro is a Courtesy Professor in the PHY department at Carnegie Mellon University. He holds a Ph.D. in chemistry from Johns Hopkins University, where he researched the chemistry of quantum materials. From 2021 to 2024, he was an NSF MPS-Ascend Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of California, Santa Barbara. His research at Carnegie Mellon focuses on quantum materials synthesis, crystal growth, and structural and physical properties characterization through in-house measurements and X-ray and neutron scattering experiments at national and international facilities. In 2025, he was named as the recipient of a New Investigator Research Grant from the Charles Kaufman Foundation.

Juan R Chamorro is a researcher at Carnegie Mellon University specializing in Quantum Materials, Materials Chemistry, and Crystal Growth. His work explores the synthesis and properties of complex materials, including double perovskites, kagome metals, and borides. Chamorro's research focuses on understanding electronic and magnetic behaviors in quantum spin liquids, Dirac semimetals, and frustrated magnetic systems. He investigates how chemical bonding and crystal structures influence material properties, with applications in solid-state synthesis and advanced functional materials. His studies also address transport phenomena, such as heat and charge interconversion, and the role of defects in material stability.
