Profile/About Me
Dr. Mozaffari is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, where she joined in Fall 2025. Prior to her appointment at Clemson University, she held postdoctoral positions at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville and the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory.
Research Interests
My research centers on the synthesis and characterization of quantum materials, including topological materials, superconductors, and magnetic systems. I focus on growing high-quality single crystals and studying their physical properties using transport, magnetic, and thermodynamic measurements, especially under low-temperature and high-field conditions. Ultimately, I'm interested in uncovering new quantum phases of matter and understanding how electron correlations give rise to emergent phenomena in condensed matter systems.
