Greene is a physics professor at Florida State University and Chief Scientist at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory.
She was previously a professor of physics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign [1].
She is noted for her research on Andreev bound states and is an expert in strongly correlated Fermionic systems.
During the discoveries of the first high transition temperature (Hi-Tc) superconductors she and collaborators from AT&T laboratories, were amongst the first to report on the role of oxygen and crystal structure in the copper-oxides.
Laura Greene is a champion for diversity and is active in promoting equal rights for women and minorities.
