Suraj S Hegde

Dr. Suraj S Hegde is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics at Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Thiruvananthapuram. His academic path includes postdoctoral research at TU Dresden and the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems, with a Ph.D. from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, and a Bachelors in Electrical Engineering.

Research Interests:

• Quantum condensed matter theory focusing on symmetry, geometry, and topology in quantum matter
• Systems: Quantum Hall effects, Topological superconductors, Weyl semimetals, non-Hermitian open quantum systems
• Phenomena: Non-equilibrium dissipative dynamics, Transport, Localization, Majorana modes, and black hole parallels in condensed matter

Article Trends: Recent work connects topological and geometric principles in condensed matter with gravitational analogies, leveraging non-Hermitian dynamics and disorder to explore edge states, mobility edges, and quantum simulation platforms for advanced phenomena like black hole mirages and Majorana bound states.
