Biography
Brian Maple is a Distinguished Professor of Physics and holds the Bernd T. Matthias Endowed Chair in the Physics Department at the University of California, San Diego (UC San Diego). He served as Chair of the Physics Department (2004-2010 and 2012-2022), Director of the Center for Interface and Materials Science (1990-2010), and Director of the Institute for Pure and Applied Physical Sciences (1995-2009). He leads a research group in experimental condensed matter physics that focuses on emergent phenomena in strongly correlated d– and f-electron quantum materials. Another major effort involves the study of quantum matter under extreme conditions of low temperature (millikelvin range), high pressure (megabar region), and high magnetic field (100 tesla region). Subjects under investigation include high temperature superconductivity, unconventional types of superconductivity, valence fluctuation and heavy fermion behavior, quantum criticality, quantum spin liquids, topological insulators, and exotic types of magnetism. Research activities in his laboratory include materials synthesis and single crystal growth, and transport, thermal, and magnetic measurements as a function of temperature, pressure, and magnetic field.
Professor Maple is a first-generation college graduate who earned B.S. (physics) and A.B. (mathematics) degrees in 1963 from San Diego State University (SDSU) and M.S. (physics) and Ph.D. (physics) degrees in 1965 and 1969, respectively, from UC San Diego. All of his academic appointments have been in the Physics Department at UC San Diego, interspersed with visiting professorships and research positions at the University of Chile, the Instituto de Fisica Jose Balseiro, San Carlos de Bariloche, Argentina, the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, UC Santa Barbara, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory, and the University of Karlsruhe, Germany. He served as Vice-Chairman and Chairman of the Division of Condensed Matter Physics of the American Physical Society (APS) in 1987 and 1988, respectively, and chaired the famous “Woodstock of Physics” Session on High Temperature Superconductivity at the APS March Meeting in New York City in 1987.
Professor Maple is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and a Fellow of the American Physical Society and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He has received numerous awards, including: Excellence in Teaching Award, Revelle College, UC San Diego (1983), John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship (1984), APS David Adler Lectureship Award (1996), Alexander v. Humboldt Research Award, Germany (1998), Frank H. Spedding Award (1999), APS James C. McGroddy Prize (2000), Bernd T. Matthias Prize (2000), Honorary Professorship, Trzebiatowski Institute for Low Temperature and Structure Research, Polish Academy of Sciences, Wroclaw, Poland (2006), and Science Lectureship Award, Chiba University, Tokyo, Japan (2010). Maple was ranked internationally among the top 30 scientists for number of citations received for papers published in physical sciences between 1990 and 1996 (Science Watch, November/December 1997, published by ISI), and he was identified as one of the world’s most Highly Cited Researchers by ISI in 2000 (number 62 out of 1000). He was named Distinguished Alumnus of the Year at UC San Diego in 1987 and at SDSU, College of Sciences, in 1988.

Research Interests
- General Interests
My general interests include high temperature and unconventional superconductivity as well as correlated electron system materials. In particular, I am interested in the synthesis of new materials within these groups, as well as measurements of specific heat, resistivity, and susceptibility at low temperatures and high magnetic fields. I have expertise in measurements in magnetic fields above 20 T. - I am the creator of the Maple Lab logo.
- Current (and Future) Projects
Synthesis of UTe2 single crystals by CVT and molten salt flux.
Synthesis of PrYBCO.
Measurement of magnetization and specific heat of PrYBCO in magnetic fields.
Measurement of UTe2 in high magnetic fields.
Measurement of U(Ru1-xFex)2Si2 in high magnetic fields in collaboration with Marcelo Jaime of LANL.
Characterization of URu2Si2, UTe2, PrYBCO, by pXRD and Laue measurements.
Electrical transport measurements on Yb1-xScxCo2Zn20 down to 2 K.
