Christoph Adam

Christoph Adam is a Professor at the Department of Particle Physics, Faculty of Physics, University of Santiago de Compostela. He is affiliated with the Galician Institute of High Energy Physics (IGFAE) and leads the TEOFPACC group (Theory and Phenomenology of Particles, Astroparticles, Fields and Strings). His research focuses on theoretical physics, particle physics, nuclear physics, and condensed matter systems, with emphasis on soliton theory, boson stars, quantum dots, and Skyrme models.

Research Interests
- Theoretical development of solitonic systems (kinks, vortices, skyrmions) and their applications in nuclear and astrophysical contexts. - Investigating quantum phenomena in graphene-based systems, including spin-orbit coupling and quantum dot spectroscopy. - Exploring rotating bosonic dark matter models and their implications for galactic structures. - Studying neutron star properties and equations of state via generalized Skyrme models. - Analyzing topological defects and universal relations in field theories.

Article Trends
Recent work emphasizes quantum dot spectroscopy (graphene-based systems), rotating compact objects (boson stars), and Skyrme model applications to nuclear matter. 2023-2025 papers reveal intensified focus on soliton dynamics (kink collisions), topological phase transitions, and relativistic moduli spaces.
