Aliaksei Charnukha

Dr. Aliaksei Charnukha is an Emmy Noether Group Leader at the Institute for Solid State Research (IFF), IFW Dresden, Germany. His work focuses on emergent phenomena in quantum matter, particularly strongly correlated electron systems, high-temperature superconductivity, and low-dimensional materials. He employs advanced techniques such as terahertz near-field microscopy, optical spectroscopy, and scanning-probe methods at cryogenic temperatures.

• Education:
  • PhD in Experimental Physics (2012), Max Planck Institute for Solid-State Research
  • MSc in Experimental Physics (2009), University of Stuttgart
  • Diploma in Theoretical Physics (2007), Belarusian State University

His research explores quantum phase transitions and non-equilibrium dynamics in materials like iron-based superconductors and Weyl semimetals, with recent work on terahertz spectroscopy and nanoscale electronic heterogeneity. Publications span optical conductivity, plasmonics, and electron-phonon interactions.

Scientific awards include the Otto Hahn Medal (2013) and the Emmy Noether Starting Grant (2017). He has served as a referee for journals like Nature Quantum Materials and Physical Review B. His group at IFF investigates equilibrium and dynamic emergent phenomena in complex materials, integrating terahertz science with near-field optics.
