معرفی
Martin Claassen is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics & Astronomy at the University of Pennsylvania School of Arts & Sciences. He also held a Flatiron Research Fellowship (2017–2020) at the Simons Foundation's Center for Computational Quantum Physics. His research focuses on non-equilibrium dynamics and correlated phases in quantum materials, particularly exploring how external driving (e.g., optical pulses) can induce novel states far from equilibrium. Key areas include Floquet engineering, topological phases, ultrafast dynamics, and Moiré heterostructures.
