Nancy M. Haegel
Distinguished Professor of Physics
Ph.D. Material Science, UC, Berkeley, 1985

Professor Haegel joined the faculty of NPS in 2003. She served previously on the faculties of the Materials Science and Engineering Department at UCLA and the Physics Department at Fairfield University. She conducts research in the areas of transport imaging in solid state devices, modeling of low temperature and far infrared detectors, solar cell characterization and development of polymer emitters for military applications. Dr. Haegel has received fellowships from the National Science Foundation, the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, the Kellogg Foundation and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation and was awarded the 2003 Prize for Research at an Undergraduate Institution from the American Physical Society (APS). She received the Excellence in Teaching Award at UCLA and the Teacher of the Year Award at Fairfield University. She is author or co-author on 90 publications and three book chapters. Dr. Haegel currently serves on the Board of Trustees of the University of Notre Dame and is a member of the APS Committee on the Status of Women in Physics.
