Igor Marković

Igor Marković is an Assistant Professor at the University of Birmingham with a joint appointment at Diamond Light Source, the UK's national synchrotron facility. He completed his doctoral studies at the International Max Planck Research School for Condensed Matter Physics and Quantum Materials (IMPRS-CPQM) in April 2020.

His educational background includes:

• PhD in Condensed Matter Physics from IMPRS-CPQM (awarded April 2020)

Dr. Marković's research focuses on quantum materials where spin-orbit coupling and crystal symmetries govern electronic properties. His doctoral work specifically investigated NbGeSb (a potential topological material) and Ca₃Ru₂O₇ (a ruthenate exhibiting complex magnetic phases), combining theoretical modeling with synchrotron-based experimental techniques at Diamond Light Source. This research contributes to fundamental understanding of emergent electronic phenomena in correlated electron systems.

His dual affiliation enables cutting-edge research bridging academic theory and advanced synchrotron methodologies, positioning him at the forefront of quantum materials characterization. The joint appointment facilitates access to state-of-the-art X-ray and neutron scattering facilities for probing electronic structures at atomic scales.
