Pierre A. Deymier is a researcher in phononics,[1] acoustic metamaterial,[1] and materials science. He is a Professor of Materials Science and Engineering and previously department head at the University of Arizona.[2] He holds appointments with the applied mathematics graduate interdisciplinary program,[3] BIO5 institute, and School of Sustainable Engineered Systems at the University of Arizona. More recently, he has proposed a novel approach akin to quantum computing using the properties of phonons rather than qubits, which he has dubbed "phi-bits" or "phase-bits".[4][5]

Biography

[edit]

Education

[edit]

Deymier received his engineer's degree in materials science in 1982 from University of Montpellier in France and his Ph.D. in Materials Science & Engineering from MIT in 1985.[6] His dissertation research was focused on computational materials science.[citation needed] He became assistant professor of materials science & engineering at the University of Arizona in 1985.[6]

Personal life

[edit]

His daughter, Alix Deymier, is a professor of biomedical engineering at the University of Connecticut.[citation needed]
