Chief Executive Officer
Our Team
Justin Schwartz
Professor Justin Schwartz serves as the Chief Executive Officer of Lupine Materials & Technology (LMT). He received a B.S. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and a Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. After serving as one of the first Science and Technology Agency of Japan Fellows at the National Research Institute for Metals, Japan, he joined the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign as an Assistant Professor. In 1993, he joined the newly-formed National High Magnetic Field Laboratory and the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Florida State University, where he served as the Leader of the HTS Magnets and Materials Group. In 2003, his research group, in collaboration with Oxford Instruments, established the world record for magnetic field generation by a superconducting material. In 2009, Professor Schwartz joined North Carolina State University as the Head of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering and Kobe Steel Distinguished Professor.
His research group is cross-disciplinary, integrating physics and chemistry of novel superconducting and magnetic materials with mechanical, electrical, magnetic, thermal, and systems issues for applications including broadband microwave antenna and superconducting magnets for energy and power systems. His focus is bridging the underlying nanoscopic phenomena to the macroscopic behaviors required for technological impact.
