Patrik Henelius

Patrik Henelius is a Professor of Theoretical Physics at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. His research focuses on magnetic frustration in materials, particularly in spin ice systems. He investigates how magnetic moments in these materials fail to align uniformly, leading to phenomena like synthetic magnetic monopoles. His work bridges theoretical models with experimental data from collaborator groups studying crystal structures and material properties.

Research Interests:

• Theoretical modeling of frustrated magnets
• Spin ice materials and magnetic monopole dynamics
• Condensed matter physics
• Material structure-property relationships

Collaborations: Works closely with experimental groups to validate theoretical models through crystal cultivation and measurement analysis. Aims to simplify complex material behaviors using minimalistic physical models.

Advising: Supervises a diverse group of students and researchers, including

• Joachim Oberhammer
• Viktoria Martin
• Yen-Hsi Tsai
• and others listed above
