Markus Braden

Markus Braden is a Professor of Physics at the University of Cologne, Germany. He also serves as a Scientific Advisory Board member (2025-2028) for LINXS Institute of advanced Neutron and X-ray Science, specializing in Hard Matter research.

Research Focus

His work centers on strongly correlated electron systems, with emphasis on:

• Transition-metal compounds and electronic correlations
• Unconventional superconductivity mechanisms
• Spin-orbit coupling effects in quantum materials
• Multiferroic phenomena and magnetic excitations

His group employs neutron/X-ray scattering techniques to study crystal/magnetic structures and develops specialized instrumentation, including a polarization-optimized triple-axis spectrometer in collaboration with TU Munich.
