Vadim Geshkenbein

Prof. Vadim Geshkenbein is a Senior Lecturer at the Department of Physics, ETH Zürich, affiliated with the Institut für Theoretische Physik. His research focuses on superconductivity, vortex dynamics, and condensed matter physics, particularly exploring phenomena such as vortex pinning, thermal creep, and critical state models in superconductors. He has contributed to understanding the interplay between disorder, thermal effects, and material properties in layered and thin-film superconductors.

Key research interests include the theoretical analysis of magnetic flux dynamics, non-equilibrium phenomena in superconductors, and the application of statistical mechanics to vortex systems. His work often bridges experimental observations with theoretical models, offering insights into superconducting device behavior and material characterization.

Notable contributions include studies on Campbell penetration depth relaxation, the role of rare events in pinning landscapes, and the development of critical state models for two-dimensional superconductors. His articles highlight advancements in understanding vortex motion under varying conditions, from quantum fluctuations to macroscopic transport properties.
