Pavel Rubin is an Associate Professor in Solid State Theory at the Institute of Physics, Faculty of Science and Technology, University of Tartu. Currently working at 0.40 FTE, he has been affiliated with the University of Tartu since 1989, progressing from postgraduate student to his current position. His career spans theoretical physics research with a focus on condensed matter systems.
Rubin received his Doctor's Degree in Physics from the University of Tartu in 1994, with a dissertation on "Local defect states in CuO2 planes of high temperature superconductors" supervised by Nikolai Kristoffel. His earlier education includes Solid State Theory studies at Tomsk University in 1982.
Dr. Rubin's research focuses on solid state theory, particularly superconductivity, electron structure of solid state materials, and high-temperature superconductors. His work examines complex phenomena in materials like cuprates and iron arsenides, with recent emphasis on graphene-based systems. He investigates quantum magnetic systems through Heisenberg models on various lattices, and explores multiband superconductivity mechanisms with competing pairing channels. His research bridges theoretical physics with potential applications in materials science and sensor technology.
His recent publications demonstrate a consistent focus on condensed matter physics, with particular attention to superconductivity mechanisms, quantum magnetic systems, and novel materials like graphene. Rubin frequently collaborates with researchers such as Aleksandr Pishtshev, Mihhail Klopov, and Raivo Jaaniso. His work shows progression from fundamental superconductivity theory to more applied research on sensor materials, particularly in recent years.
Dr. Rubin has successfully supervised at least one Master's student, Martin Jonas Siebel, whose 2024 thesis focused on "First principle simulation of gas adsorption on graphene/h-BN structures." His research has been supported through multiple projects, including the Graphene Flagship Core Project 3 (2020-2023) and the ongoing "New structures and signal processing methods for graphene-based gas sensors on microcantilevers" project (2022-2026).
