Robert Markiewicz

Robert Markiewicz serves as a Professor in the Department of Physics at Northeastern University, Boston, specializing in condensed matter physics with emphasis on high-temperature superconductivity and quantum materials.

His research centers on modeling spectral responses across experimental probes including angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS), scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STM), and optical spectra. He has developed an intermediate-coupling model explaining cuprate superconductor behaviors over wide doping and energy ranges, demonstrating magnetic fluctuations as the pairing mechanism and identifying competing phases in electron-doped systems. Current work extends to correlated metals and topological insulators, building on foundational studies of two-dimensional systems like electron-hole droplets in germanium and ultrathin metal films.
