معرفی
Frank Schindler is an Assistant Professor in Condensed Matter Theory at Imperial College London, Department of Physics (Faculty of Natural Sciences). He joined Imperial in August 2023 and is also a UKRI Future Leaders Fellow (2024–present). His research focuses on topological phases of matter, quantum materials, metamaterials, and quantum dynamics. He leads the 'Theory of Topological Matter' research group, currently supervising 4 PhD students, 3 master’s students, and expects a postdoc in 2025. His work bridges theoretical physics and materials science, with a focus on non-Hermitian topology and topological metamaterials.
- Education: BSc Physics (LMU Munich, 2012–2015), Part III Mathematics (Cambridge, 2015–2016), PhD in Condensed Matter Theory (University of Zurich, 2016–2020)
Research interests include topological phases in quantum materials, non-Hermitian systems, and moiré superlattices. His recent articles explore topics like non-Hermitian topology, topological invariants, and quantum dynamics. Awards include the James Clerk Maxwell Medal (2024) and the Sam B. Treiman Fellowship (2022).
Grants and collaborations: Supported by UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship and the Simons Foundation. Active in UKRI EPSRC Materials for Quantum Network (M4QN) initiatives. His lab focuses on experimental collaborations and theoretical modeling of topological phenomena.
