B. Andrei Bernevig

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bogdan Andrei Bernevig (born 1978 in Bucharest) is a Romanian Quantum Condensed Matter Professor of Physics at Princeton University and the recipient of the John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship in 2017.[1]

Biography[]

Andrei Bernevig took part in the Physics Olympiad in Bucharest from 1994 to 1997 as a teenager (and won international gold and silver medals).[2] He graduated from Stanford University (bachelor's degree in physics and master's degree in mathematics in 2001) and received his PhD from Stanford University under Shoucheng Zhang. As a postdoctoral fellow he came to the Center for Theoretical Physics at Princeton University, where he was appointed Assistant Professor in 2009 and Associate Professor in 2014.[3]

He deals with the application of topology in solid state physics, for example in the fractional quantum hall effect, and novel topological materials ( topological insulators , topological superconductors) and spin transport or spintronics. He also deals with ferrous high-temperature superconductors and predicted s-wave pairing there.

Awards[]

In 2016 he received the New Horizons in Physics Prize.[4] In 2014 he received the Sackler Prize.[5] In 2017 he was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship[6] and, in 2018, an Alexander von Humboldt Professorship.[7] In 2019 he was awarded the James C. McGroddy Prize for New Materials from the American Physical Society.[6][8]
