Andreas Schilling

Prof. Dr. Andreas Schilling leads the Phase Transitions, Materials and Applications Research Group at the Physik-Institut of the University of Zurich (Switzerland). His work focuses on high-temperature superconductivity, quantum criticality, and multiferroic materials, with groundbreaking contributions such as the discovery of superconductivity above 130 K in HgBa₂Ca₂Cu₃O₁₊ₓ (1993).

• Research: Explores superconductivity mechanisms, vortex dynamics, and magnetoelectric coupling in quantum materials.
• Students: Mentors Ph.D. researchers and postdocs (e.g., Dr. Huanlong Liu, Dong Zhu) and has supervised numerous former advisees.

Key Awards:

• Discovery of superconductivity above 130 K (1993),
• Development of multiferroic materials with room-temperature magnetoelectric coupling (2013).
