Marc Janoschek

Marc Janoschek is an Associate Professor at the University of Zurich specializing in experimental physics. He heads the PSI Center for Neutron and Muon Sciences (CNM) in Switzerland and leads the Laboratory for Neutron and Muon Instrumentation. His research integrates material synthesis, instrumentation development, and advanced experiments to study quantum phenomena in correlated materials.

Research interests center on quantum matter phases investigated through neutron/x-ray scattering under extreme conditions. Key areas include:

• Tuning atomic-scale interactions via pressure, field, and chemistry
• Quantitative determination of quantum properties
• Novel instrumentation design for neutron scattering

Publications focus on quantum materials like UTe₂ and heavy fermion systems, with methodological innovations in scattering techniques. Recent work explores topological states and unconventional superconductivity.

Awards include:

• PSI Diversity Award 2024
• Wolfram-Prandl Award for spin dynamics studies
• Los Alamos National Laboratory Fellows Prize
• Hans Fischer Fellowship

Leads the PSI-ESS project (€30M Swiss contribution to neutron instruments) and chairs international committees including the LENS Working Group on Synergies. Maintains extensive global collaborations with theorists and experimental facilities.
