Elbio Dagotto

Elbio Rubén Dagotto is an Argentinian-American theoretical physicist and academic. He is a distinguished professor in the department of physics and astronomy at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and Distinguished Scientist in the Materials Science and Technology Division at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

Dagotto is most known for using theoretical models and computational techniques to explore transition metal oxides, oxide interfaces, high-temperature superconductors, topological materials, quantum magnets, and nanoscale systems. He authored the book, ''Nanoscale Phase Separation and Colossal Magnetoresistance'' which has focused on transition metal oxides, particularly manganese oxides with the colossal magneto-resistance effect and co-edited the book, ''Multifunctional Oxide Heterostructures''.

Dagotto held appointments as a Member of the Solid State Sciences Committee at the National Academy of Sciences and as a Divisional Editor for ''Physical Review Letters''. He is a Fellow of both the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and the American Physical Society (APS), and has also been recognized as an Outstanding Referee by the APS and ''Europhysics Letters'' (EPL). Furthermore, he is the recipient of the 2023 David Adler Lectureship Award in the Field of Materials Physics and recipient of the 2023 Alexander Prize of the University of Tennessee.
