Prof.Dr. Mahmoud Abdel-Hafiez

I am broadly interested in condensed-matter physics, but particularly in the way that electrons behave when they are subjected to extreme conditions such as high pressure, ultra-low temperatures and high magnetic fields.Since my PhD (2012) at the Dresden University of Technology "Prof. Dr. Bernd Büchner", appointments at Université de Liège (2012-14) and the Center for High Pressure Science & Technology Advanced Research in China as a faculty member (2014-16) and Eigene Stelle, DFG grant, at the Goethe-University Frankfurt (2016-18), and Research Associate at Physics Department, Harvard University (2018-…), and currently an Associate Professor, with Docent, at Uppsala university, my research has focussed on the science and technologies of quantum materials. My main specific interest is studying quantum materials with unconventional superconducting, magnetic and/or electronic properties. We employ a combination of magnetic and transport measurements, often in high-pressure. Current interests include superconductivity, charge density wave formation, and the behavior of electrons in 2D and 1D-materials.
