Hayder Salman

Hayder Salman is an Associate Professor in Applied Mathematics at the University of East Anglia (UEA), part of the School of Engineering, Mathematics and Physics. He leads the Fluids & Structures Group and is a member of the Centre for Photonics and Quantum Science. His research focuses on superfluid dynamics, non-equilibrium phenomena, and quantum turbulence, with collaborations spanning global institutions.

Salman earned his undergraduate degree from Imperial College and a PhD from Loughborough University. He held postdoctoral positions at Brown University, MIT, the University of North Carolina, and the University of Cambridge before joining UEA in 2009. He has secured grants including a Leverhulme Trust Fellowship (2015–2017) and a London Mathematical Society Summer Bursary (2013).

His key research interests include vortex dynamics in superfluids, quantum turbulence, and non-equilibrium phase transitions in Bose-Einstein condensates. He collaborates with experimentalists to model low-dimensional quantum systems and explores quantum computing applications through Ising Hamiltonian minimization.

Salman advises PhD students on projects like quantum computing of spin glasses and quantum turbulence. He has published extensively in top journals such as Physical Review X and Communications Physics, with datasets archived on platforms like Zenodo. Recent work includes studies on Kibble-Zurek scaling and rogue wave dynamics in superfluids.

He actively participates in conferences, including a 2022 presentation on dispersive hydrodynamics. His work bridges theoretical models with experimental validation, emphasizing interdisciplinary approaches to quantum matter and fluid dynamics.
