Elizabeth “Lisa” Pogue is a materials scientist and postdoctoral researcher at Johns Hopkins University working with Tyrel McQueen. She is a member of the Institute of Quantum Matter Energy Frontier Research Center and is synthesizing new quantum materials. She is working to make new and better topological insulators and line nodal semimetals. For her doctoral work at University of Illinois in the Rockett and Shoemaker laboratories, Lisa investigated phase stability, defects, and structures of materials in the Copper-Zinc-Tin-Sulfur system. These materials are of interest as Earth-abundant, nontoxic, and inexpensive thin film solar cells.
