Kristín Björg Arnardóttir

Kristín Björg Arnardóttir is a Research Fellow at POLIMA, University of Southern Denmark. Her research focuses on quantum optics, condensed matter physics, and theoretical physics, particularly in polariton dynamics, light-matter interactions, and open quantum systems. She holds a BSc in Physics from the University of Iceland, an MSc in Theoretical Physics from Stockholm University, and a PhD from Nanyang Technological University (Singapore), where her work centered on strong light-matter coupling in solid-state systems. Prior to joining SDU in 2024, she conducted postdoctoral research at the University of St Andrews, UK, investigating organic polaritons and non-Markovian dynamics under Professors Jonathan Keeling and Brendon Lovett. Her current research at POLIMA explores polariton-mediated energy transfer and chiral polaritons under the supervision of Christos Tserkezis.

Her academic trajectory includes significant contributions to understanding cavity quantum electrodynamics, nanocavity lasing mechanisms, and topological effects in materials. Recent work emphasizes non-Markovian effects in long-range energy transfer and temporal dynamics in polariton systems. Projects span theoretical modeling and interdisciplinary applications of quantum phenomena in optoelectronic systems.

Key research themes include:

• Polariton-mediated energy transfer mechanisms
• Organic polariton lasing dynamics
• Non-equilibrium quantum systems
• Cavity QED in low-dimensional structures
• Topological effects in condensed matter
