Anshuman Padhi

Anshuman Padhi is a researcher affiliated to the Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics, specializing in unconventional superconductivity, quantum physics, and spintronics. He is a student representative at the International Max Planck Research School for Science and Technology of Nano-Systems (IMPRS-STNS), Germany.

• Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Physics at IMPRS-STNS (2023-Present)
• Master of Science (2018-2023) in Physics from National Institute of Science Education and Research (NISER), India

His research focuses on the generation and tuning of unconventional superconductivity in interfaces and devices, studying superconducting proximity effects, spin-triplet superconductivity, topological states, and their applications in quantum information processing. He uses cryogenic transport measurements and nanofabrication techniques.

His 2020 publication explores the intersection of quantum computational modeling and epidemiology, applying Ising spin interactions to study lockdown effects during the pandemic. This work reflects his interdisciplinary interests in theoretical and applied physics.
