Stephen E. Nagler is a Canadian condensed matter and materials science physicist. Nagler is the Corporate Research Fellow of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and the Director of the laboratory's Quantum Condensed Matter Division. He is an adjunct professor with the Department of Physics at the University of Tennessee.^[1]

Nagler’s primary research interest is in condensed matter physics, especially quantum materials. He contributed to neutron scattering techniques, especially inelastic scattering to investigate the dynamics of materials. Nagler also worked with high resolution and time resolved x-ray scattering methods, using both in-house and synchrotron based x-ray sources.

Nagler contributed to the study of excitation (magnetic) and critical behavior (quantum) in materials science, as well as the study of non-equilibrium thermodynamics systems, quantum fluctuations, spin gap systems, and excitations in condensed matter.
