Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohn Colton is a Professor of Physics at Brigham Young University with over two decades of academic and research experience probing semiconductor nanostructures using advanced optical techniques. His group specializes in quantum wells, quantum dots, and especially tunable 2D metal halide perovskites, exploring electron, spin, phonon, and nuclear interactions to reveal material limits relevant to optoelectronic technologies. Trained with a Ph.D. from UC Berkeley and seasoned by postdoctoral work at the Naval Research Laboratory, he blends fundamental spectroscopy with materials design to connect microscopic dynamics to device-relevant properties. Based in Orem, Utah, he has a sustained record of mentoring and long-term faculty leadership dating back to early assistant professorships. Notably, his work emphasizes hybrid organic–inorganic systems where compositional choice gives unique knobs to tailor electronic and spin behavior.
