Yevgeny Stadnik

Dr. Yevgeny Stadnik is an ARC DECRA Fellow at the University of Sydney's Faculty of Science, specializing in theoretical and experimental physics focused on dark matter detection and fundamental physics. His research utilizes atomic, molecular, and optical systems to explore ultralight axion dark matter, exotic particles, and scalar fields. He is affiliated with the Department of Physics, collaborating on projects at facilities like the European Spallation Source (ESS) and leveraging quantum sensing techniques.

Key research interests include axion dark matter detection via neutron spin interactions, precision measurements with atomic clocks, and theoretical frameworks linking dark matter to variations in fundamental constants. His work bridges particle physics, cosmology, and atomic/molecular physics, with contributions to international workshops (e.g., FIPs 2022) and collaborations with institutions globally.

Dr. Stadnik has secured a prestigious ARC DECRA Fellowship for his project on developing novel dark matter detection tools. His publications span topics like neutron-beam experiments at ESS, axion-induced effects in paramagnetic systems, and constraints on scalar-field topological defects. He actively participates in interdisciplinary efforts, such as cold atoms in space initiatives and quantum magnetometry networks.

Recent work emphasizes resonant detection methods, intensity interferometry for bosonic dark matter, and theoretical models connecting dark matter to gravitational phenomena. His research also explores applications of laser interferometry and atomic spectroscopy for multi-messenger astronomy and fundamental constant stability studies.
