Joseph Poon
Joseph S. Poon is William Barton Rogers Professor of Physics at the University of Virginia. His research applies physics principles to design, synthesize, and investigate amorphous metals, nano-structured materials, and intermetallic compounds. For his advances in research on Amorphous metal, he was cited in the "Scientific American 50 Leaders" in 2004. He is an elected Fellow of the American Physical Society. In 2020, he was awarded the for research by the Southeastern section of the American Physical Society. Poon received his education at the California Institute of Technology, where he got a Bachelor of Science, B.S. and Doctor of Philosophy, Ph.D. degree in Applied physics. He has acquired multi-million dollars grants from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency for the applications of amorphous metals in defense industry.

Physics
Physics is the natural science that studies matter, its fundamental constituents, its motion and behavior through space and time, and the related entities of energy and force. "Physical science is that department of knowledge which relates to the order of nature, or, in other words, to the regular succession of events." Physics is one of the most fundamental scientific disciplines, with its main goal being to understand how the universe behaves. "Physics is one of the most fundamental of the sciences. Scientists of all disciplines use the ideas of physics, including chemists who study the structure of molecules, paleontologists who try to reconstruct how dinosaurs walked, and climatologists who study how human activities affect the atmosphere and oceans. Physics is also the foundation of all engineering and technology. No engineer could design a flat-screen TV, an interplanetary spacecraft, or even a better mousetrap without first understanding the basic laws of physic ...
