Dahlia Klein became a Neubauer Family Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics in January, 2026.
Klein’s research focuses on the study of 2D quantum materials. She was part of the team who discovered 2D magnets, a groundbreaking and revolutionary discovery. During her postdoctoral studies, she furthered this research by creating more 2D materials with the aim of creating better and more sensitive transistors.
Klein received her BA from the University of Pennsylvania in Physics, Chemistry, and Biophysics, her MS from the University of Pennsylvania in Chemistry, and her PhD in Physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Weizmann Institute of Science.
