Tudor Petrescu

Tudor Petrescu is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Sherbrooke, specializing in theoretical condensed matter physics. His research focuses on topological phases, quantum anomalous Hall effects, and ultracold atoms in photonic systems.

Education:

• Ph.D. in Physics, Yale University, 2015
• Advisor: Karyn Le Hur

Research Highlights:

His doctoral work explored quantum anomalous Hall effects in 2D lattice models, including Kagome lattices with photons and Haldane’s honeycomb lattice with interacting bosons. He also investigated quasi-1D lattices under magnetic fields, uncovering Meissner effects in Mott insulators and precursors of fractional quantum Hall states. His findings emphasize experimental observables for topological states in ultracold atom systems.
