Grigory Tarnopolskiy

Grigory Tarnopolskiy is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics at Carnegie Mellon University's Mellon College of Science. His research bridges High Energy Physics Theory and Condensed Matter Physics Theory, focusing on Twistronics and Critical Phenomena.

• Ph.D., Princeton University (2017)
• Postdoctoral Fellow, Harvard University (2017–2021)
• Assistant Professor, Carnegie Mellon University (2021–present)

His work explores Moiré superlattices in twisted graphene systems and the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model, addressing non-Fermi liquids, maximal chaos, and spontaneous symmetry breaking. Recent publications highlight quantum criticality in SYK models and topological phases in twisted multilayer graphene.

He is affiliated with the American Physical Society and contributes to theoretical physics research at the intersection of high energy and condensed matter physics.
