Jorge José Emeritus Mathews Distinguished University Professor DSc National University of Mexico, 1976 (617)373-5705 jjv@neu.edu

Research Summary:

Professor José's research intends to shed light on the multiple transformations of order in condensed matter physics, focusing on the physics of phase transformations dominated by thermal and quantum mechanical effects. Superconductivity at high temperatures and superfluidity at low temperatures are specific problems of interest. His research relies on analytic techniques as well as use of large scale numerical simulations carried out in state-of-the-art serial and parallel computers to study the properties of homogeneous, inhomogeneous, and artificially fabricated superconducting systems. His work is motivated by experimental findings and, in turn, has led to predictions that have been tested experimentally.
