About Charles Hanna

Dr. Charles Hanna joined the faculty of the Department of Physics at Boise State University in 1996 after doing postdoctoral research at IBM and Indiana University. His doctorate in physics is from Stanford University, and his B.S. and M.S. degrees were earned at Yale University. Dr. Hanna's research interests are primarily in theory, computation, and modeling. They include interactions in quantum and biophysical systems, Bose-Einstein condensates, quantum effects in low-dimensional, nanoscale electron and boson systems, the effects of interactions between electrons in semiconductor structures,
the Quantum Hall effect (especially in multicomponent systems), and many-body and statistical physics. He serves as a reviewer for the National Science Foundation and the Canadian Research Council, and a referee for Physical Review Letters, Physical Review B, Physical Review A, and Physical Review E.
