Bartomeu Monserrat

Dr. Bartomeu Monserrat is a Lecturer in Materials Science at the University of Cambridge, affiliated with the TCM Group at the Cavendish Laboratory. His research focuses on first-principles quantum condensed matter theory, particularly the role of atomic vibrations in determining material properties under extreme conditions. His work bridges fundamental quantum mechanics with applications in optoelectronics, superconductivity, and planetary astrophysics.

Research Interests:

• Quantum effects in atomic vibrations
• Temperature-dependent electronic structure
• Topological materials under pressure
• Superconductivity in high-pressure phases
• Optoelectronic properties of perovskites
• Applications to astrophysics (white dwarf cooling)

Recent publications highlight his work on exciton-phonon coupling, topological phase transitions, and extreme-condition material behavior. His group applies advanced computational methods to design quantum materials for sustainable technologies.
