Summary
Tyler Sterling is a PhD candidate in physics at the University of Colorado Boulder with eight years of experience blending computational and neutron-scattering experiments to probe phonon physics in unconventional materials. He studies lattice dynamics across high-Tc superconductors, stripe-ordered Mott crystals, hybrid perovskites, clathrates, and other “wacky” solids, using whatever modeling tools are needed to interpret neutron data. Comfortable at the interface of experiment and theory, he builds and validates models that connect microscopic vibrations to macroscopic behaviors. His background in materials science, manufacturing engineering, and control systems gives him a pragmatic, systems-oriented approach to research and instrumentation. Based in Boulder, he’s equally at home designing experiments at beamlines and writing code to extract physical insight from complex datasets.
