Maxim Dzero

Maxim Dzero serves as Professor in the Department of Physics at Kent State University, Ohio. His academic home is within the university's physics division under the broader institutional structure of Kent State University, with research affiliations extending to the Advanced Materials and Liquid Crystal Institute located at 1425 Lefton Esplanade.

Dzero's research centers on theoretical condensed matter physics with emphasis on strongly correlated quantum systems. His work investigates emergent phenomena in many-body systems through analytical and numerical methods, particularly examining topological Kondo insulators, heavy fermion superconductors, quantum phase transitions, and non-equilibrium dynamics. Key methodologies involve quantum statistical mechanics applied to superconductivity, magnetism, and disordered systems.

Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2024-2025) reveals consistent focus on quantum criticality in correlated electron systems, with particular attention to topological materials and superconducting dynamics. His work bridges theoretical frameworks with experimental signatures, frequently employing terahertz spectroscopy and transport measurements to probe collective excitations like Higgs modes in disordered superconductors.

Dzero maintains active research output with publications spanning condensed matter theory, superconductivity, and topological materials. His work demonstrates sustained engagement with quantum phenomena in complex materials systems.

His teaching portfolio includes advanced courses such as Thermal Physics (PHY 45301/55301) and Research Methods (PHY 80098), alongside specialized instruction in Quantum Field Theory and Materials Science. Research activities are supported through institutional affiliation with Kent State's physics infrastructure including laboratory facilities at the Science Research Laboratories building.
