Rate My Professor Joshua Cohn

Cohn's research focuses on low-temperature electronic, magnetic, thermal, and dielectric properties of correlated electron materials and low-dimensional systems, including transition-metal oxides and thin films. His expertise includes superconducting and magnetic oxides, with emphasis on electronic and thermal conduction, electron-lattice interactions, lattice-spin interactions, and phase behavior, as well as thermoelectrics involving electrical and thermal transport in semiconducting clathrates and skutterudites. He has published 79 refereed journal articles, achieving a Google Scholar h-index of 35 and over 6,100 citations. Notable publications include 'Semiconducting Ge clathrates: Promising candidates for thermoelectric applications' (1998), 'Glasslike heat conduction in high-mobility crystalline semiconductors' (1999), 'Giant Nernst Effect and Bipolarity in the Quasi-One-Dimensional Metal, Li_{0.9}Mo_6O_{17}' (2012), and 'Superconductivity at carrier density 10^17 cm^{-3} in quasi-one-dimensional Li_{0.9} Mo_6 O_{17}' (2023). His honors include the 2009 Outstanding Referee award from the American Physical Society, the 2011 Provost Research Award from the University of Miami, and the 1992 Knight Faculty Fellowship. Cohn co-organized the 1995 University of Miami Workshop on High-Temperature Superconductivity and has served on numerous departmental and university committees.
