As a condensed matter theorist, Dr. Kallin studies high-temperature superconductors in McMaster’s Brockhouse Institute for Materials Research (BIMR). She also belongs to the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIAR) program on superconductivity.

Dr. Kallin says the interest in studying this field stems partly from the prospect of making superconductors that would work at room temperature, a step that would revolutionize technology.

High-temperature superconductivity is one of the main research areas of the BIMR. Named for Nobel Prize winner and McMaster professor emeritus Bertram Brockhouse, the institute is an interdisciplinary research organization that supports and co-ordinates materials research activities at McMaster.
