Joseph Poon

Joseph S. Poon is William Barton Rogers Professor of Physics at the University of Virginia. His research applies physics principles to design, synthesize, and investigate amorphous metals, nano-structured materials, and inter-metallic compounds. For his advances in research on Amorphous metal, he was cited in the "Scientific American 50 Leaders" in 2004.^[1] He is an elected Fellow of the American Physical Society.^[2]

In 2020, he was awarded the Jesse W. Beams Award [de] for research by the Southeastern section of the American Physical Society.

Poon received his education at the California Institute of Technology, where he got a B.S. and Ph.D. degree in Applied physics.

He has acquired multi-million dollars grants from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency for the applications of amorphous metals in defense industry.
