Malte Grosche

Professor Malte Grosche is a faculty member at the University of Cambridge's Department of Physics, based at the Cavendish Laboratory. He rejoined the Cavendish in 2007 after roles at Royal Holloway, University of London (2001–2007), and a postdoc at the Max-Planck-Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids (1998–2001). His research focuses on quantum materials, particularly superconductivity in aperiodic systems like high-pressure bismuth and unconventional superconductors in iron-based compounds such as YFe₂Ge₂. His group employs advanced techniques including high-pressure measurements, quantum oscillation analysis, and ultra-high magnetic fields to study Fermi surfaces and phase transitions in materials like NiS₂ and UTe₂.
