Elena Gati

Elena Gati is a Group Leader at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids and an Honorary Professor at TU Dresden since 2023. She leads the Physics of Quantum Matter group, focusing on pressure-tuned correlated electron systems and quantum materials.

• PhD in Physics from Goethe University Frankfurt (2017)
• MSc in Physics from Goethe University Frankfurt (2013)
• Postdoctoral research at Ames Laboratory, USA (2018-2020)

Her research explores superconductivity, magnetism, and quantum criticality under extreme conditions. Recent work investigates pressure-induced phase transitions in heavy-fermion systems, organic charge-transfer salts, and van der Waals magnets, with a focus on structural, magnetic, and electronic coupling.

Scientific trends in her publications include hydrostatic and uniaxial pressure techniques, spin-lattice interactions, and quantum phase transitions across diverse materials like iron-based superconductors, topological semimetals, and Mott insulators.
