Dima Pesin

Dima Pesin is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Virginia. His research focuses on theoretical condensed matter physics, particularly quantum many-particle systems and topological materials.

• PhD in Physics, University of Washington (2009)

Research Interests
Dima Pesin investigates quantum transport phenomena in topological systems, including:

• Effects of band geometry on electronic hydrodynamics in Dirac/Weyl semimetals
• Current-induced effects in 3D metals with nontrivial band structures
• Nonlocal transport and kinetic orbital moments in disordered systems
• Chiral anomalies and magnetoelectric effects in helical crystals
• Spin-orbit coupling in Rashba ferromagnets
• Topological phases in strongly correlated materials

Committees
He serves on multiple departmental committees including Chair of the Graduate Student Admissions Committee and member of the Ph.D. Qualifying Examination Committee.
