معرفی
Andrew Boothroyd is a Professor of Physics at the University of Oxford's Department of Physics and a Tutorial Fellow at Oriel College. He currently serves as Interim Head of the Department. His academic journey includes undergraduate and graduate studies at the University of Cambridge and postdoctoral research at the University of Warwick. His research focuses on quantum materials, utilizing neutron and X-ray scattering to study phenomena such as superconductivity, magnetism, and topological semimetals. Notable achievements include the 2011 Brian Pippard Prize and recognition as an Outstanding Referee by the American Physical Society in 2017.
Boothroyd's research group explores electronic and magnetic properties of materials, emphasizing strong electron correlations. They investigate topological materials, magnetic oxides, and superconductors through scattering techniques and crystal growth. Recent work includes studies on Weyl semimetals, axion insulators, and multiferroic phases under pressure. His group's findings have been published in high-impact journals like Nature Communications, Physical Review Letters, and Nature Materials.
Teaching responsibilities include lectures on the Structure and Dynamics of Solids, contributing to the Condensed Matter Physics curriculum. Boothroyd also oversees research grants, lab operations, and collaborations with international facilities. His textbook Principles of Neutron Scattering from Condensed Matter (Oxford University Press, 2020) is a key resource in the field.
