Trevis Crane attended the University of Arkansas at Little Rock as a
Donaghey Scholar and graduated suma cum laude from UALR in 1998 with a
B.S. in physics and minor in math. Undergraguate research topics
primarily included cosmic ray physics and detectors. Trevis also
spent a summer working for John Wikswo's biophysics group at Vanderbilt,
in Nashville, TN.
In the fall of 1998 Trevis began his graduate studies in physics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He joined the DVH group in the summer of 1999 and has tried to escape ever since, with no luck. Trevis' initial research project was the development of a micro- scanning SQUID microscope, designed to probe magnetic fields at micron to sub-micron spatial resolution.
Realizing the futility of this, he switched projects to his current one
concerning Josephson junction device physics as well as taking on the
dilution refrigerator operation responsibilities.
Trevis' current work in Josephson junction device physics concentrates on a "tunable" Josephson junction in which the supercurrent can be adjusted by applying a voltage to the normal metal section of an SNS junction. The end goal of his research is to fully characterize the current-phase relationship of such junctions as well as implement a tunable Josephson junction in a quantum bit or qubit.
