Paul Haney

Paul Haney is a NRC Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Electron Physics Group in the CNST. He received a B.S. in Physics and Mathematics from The Ohio State University, and a Ph.D. in Physics from The University of Texas at Austin. Paul’s thesis focused on first-principles calculations of electron and spin transport in magnetic and antiferromagnetic multilayers. Paul was awarded a NRC Postdoctoral Fellowship at NIST, and is currently working with Mark Stiles investigating theoretical aspects of spin transfer torque in magnetic semiconductors.
