Emergent Phenomena
in Quantum Matter
About us
We are a computational condensed matter group at the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Manchester. Our research is mainly focused on the study of exotic states of quantum matter using a range of computational techniques, based on density functional theory, dynamical mean field theory, tight-binding modeling and lately machine learning. We are particularly interested in studying topological phases of matter, quantum confinement phenomena at the interface of heterogeneous materials, thermopower generation and manipulation in low-dimensional systems, strongly correlated electron systems, and superconductivity. Our goal is to develop new guiding principles for the study and design of next-generation qunatum materials with advanced functionalites suitable for future energy and inforamtion techonologies.
Recent research Highlights
Postdoctoral Research Associate Opportunities
Applications are invited for two Research Associate (RA) positions in theoretical condensed matter physics, focusing on modelling emergent quantum phenomena in twisted van der Waals (vdW) interfaces. Both positions are based in the Department of Physics and Astronomy of the University of Manchester. This research initiative aims to combine the power of first-principles modelling with advanced theoretical frameworks to establish new guiding principles for studying exotic quantum phases emerging at the interface of strongly correlated vdW heterostructures subject to mechanical distortions and external fields.
