معرفی
Professor Janne Ruostekoski holds the Chair in Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics at Lancaster University. His research focuses on Quantum Optics, Cold Atoms, Metamaterials, and Topological Properties of Matter and Light. He has pioneered studies in cooperative light-matter interactions and topological optical phenomena.
- Quantum optics and cold atom dynamics
- Cooperative light scattering and spectroscopy
- Topological defects and textures in spinor condensates
- Quantum technologies and photonic applications
Ruostekoski's work explores how atomic arrays enable negative refraction, skyrmion generation, and superradiant phase transitions, bypassing traditional metamaterial limitations. His team investigates topological interfaces and disorder-induced collective effects.
Scientific awards include:
- Institute of Physics (IoP) Joseph Thomson Medal and Prize 2024
- EPSRC Physical Sciences Established Career Research Fellow
Ruostekoski supervises PhD students James Doughty and Aref Salem in the Condensed Matter Theory group. His current projects span quantum optical phenomena in cold atomic ensembles (2019–2027) and cooperative light propagation (2017–2021).
