Dr. Sefat’s research career had focused on tuning and understanding chemical, electronic, and spin competitions in materials such as magnets, unconventional superconductors, and quantum spin liquids. Her ~240 peer-reviewed publication record gives citations greater than 14,000, and an h-index of >60. Athena is an elected Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS; 2016) and the Institute of Physics (IoP; 2019). At DOE, Dr. Sefat is a program manager for Quantum Information Sciences (QIS) program within MSE Division at BES. Additionally, Athena is the acting program manager for the operations of five Nanoscale Sciences Research Centers (NSRCs), within Scientific User Facilities (SUF) Division at BES. Also, she oversees a few of Energy Frontier Research Centers (EFRCs) within BES, and a few of Quantum Information Science (QIS) and microelectronic (ME) research projects across DOE SC.
