Arno Kampf

Professor Arno Kampf is a distinguished theoretical physicist at the University of Augsburg, holding a position in the Faculty of Mathematics, Natural Sciences, and Materials Engineering. He leads the Theoretical Physics III group within the Institute of Physics, where he conducts cutting-edge research on quantum many-body systems, superconductivity, and topological phases of matter. His work focuses particularly on cuprate superconductors, strongly correlated electron systems, and quantum phase transitions.

Professor Kampf's research interests span several key areas of modern condensed matter physics:

• Quantum many-body phenomena in strongly correlated electron systems
• Mechanisms of high-temperature superconductivity, particularly in cuprates
• Topological phases of matter and their experimental signatures
• Charge order phenomena and pseudogap physics
• Quantum phase transitions and critical behavior
• Effects of disorder and impurities on electronic properties

His publication record demonstrates consistent contributions to understanding the complex interplay between electron correlations, superconductivity, and topological properties in quantum materials. Over his career, Professor Kampf has developed theoretical frameworks that connect microscopic models to experimental observations in cuprate superconductors and other correlated systems. His recent work has particularly focused on charge order phenomena, topological superconductivity, and the relationship between bulk topological invariants and surface physics.

Professor Kampf actively supervises bachelor theses and teaches advanced courses in theoretical physics, including quantum mechanics and seminars on current research topics in quantum many-body physics. He has organized workshops such as "Connecting Physics and Computer Science" (2024) and "Bridging the Divide" (2023), demonstrating his commitment to interdisciplinary research and scientific collaboration.
