Jason Khoury is an assistant professor in the School of Molecular Sciences at Arizona State University, and part of the Navrotsky-Eyring Center for Materials of the Universe (MotU). Jason grew up in Cleveland, Ohio and received his bachelor's degree in chemistry at The Ohio State University in 2015, working with Patrick M. Woodward. His time with Pat at Ohio State started his interest in solid-state chemistry, where he focused on making new perovskite phosphors. He then went to graduate school at Northwestern University, where he received his doctorate in chemistry in 2020 working with Mercouri G. Kanatzidis. As a graduate student, Khoury started a new research direction in the Kanatzidis group, focusing on the synthesis and reactivity of subchalcogenide materials, which have bonding characteristics similar to both intermetallics and chalcogenides. He was the recipient of the Hierarchical Materials Cluster Fellowship in 2017, and the Marple Schweitzer Graduate Student award in 2018. After completing his doctoral degree, Khoury was an Arnold O. Beckman Postdoctoral Fellow at Princeton University from 2020 to 2023, working with Leslie M. Schoop. His postdoctoral work focused on understanding electron-rich bonding motifs as a design principle for quasi-one-dimensional topological materials. His current work at ASU is on the interface between synthetic solid-state chemistry and condensed matter physics, utilizing materials discovery and chemical bonding approaches to understand trends in quantum materials with strongly interacting electrons.

Quantum materials are solid-state compounds with properties that cannot be explained by classical physics, and can lead to advances in energy transmission and storage, magnetic data storage, medical imaging, and next-generation electronics. Throughout history, the discovery of new materials has paved the way for such technological advances. In our group, we will focus on the synthesis and characterization of new quantum materials with strongly interacting electrons. In particular, we will target quasi-low-dimensional intermetallic compounds that could lead to phenomena such as superconductivity, complex magnetism, and electronic instabilities.
Researchers in the Khoury Lab will gain expertise in solid-state synthesis, X-ray crystallography, spectroscopic and microscopic characterization, and low-temperature physical property characterization. Specific techniques include, but are not limited to, metal flux synthesis, chemical vapor transport, single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, electronic transport, magnetometry, and specific heat capacity measurements.
