Mutlu Joins MSE as Assistant Professor

The Department of Materials Science and Engineering has hired Zafer Mutlu as an assistant professor. Mutlu completed his PhD in materials science and engineering at the University of California, Riverside, then stayed at the university as a postdoc. He went on to work as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California, Berkeley and a research affiliate at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. 

His research focuses on the design, synthesis, characterization, electronic device development, and large-scale integration of nanoscale and quantum materials.

“What brought me to the University of Arizona is the people and the vision,” he said. “The college has excellent leadership, a strong faculty, and dedicated staff, and they all have a clear and exciting vision for the future. I look forward to the journey ahead with colleagues and collaborators to push frontiers and train new generations of the workforce.”

Mutlu joins 15 other new faculty at the University of Arizona College of Engineering for the new academic year.
