Dr. Timo Hyart is a team leader at MagTop in Warsaw. He received his Ph.D. in theoretical physics from the University of Oulu in 2009. After that he has worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research in Stuttgart, University of Leipzig, Leiden University and University of Jyväskylä. Hyart’s research focuses on the theory of exciton condensates, superconductors, magnetism, topological materials, and topological quantum computation.

 

THE SCOPE OF THE RESEARCH

Our research focuses on topological effect in condensed matter systems: Majorana spintronics in systems that interface superconductivity and magnetism with topological matter, spontaneous time-reversal symmetry breaking in electron-hole bilayers, machine-learning assisted identification of topological phases, topological properties of open quantum systems, topological phases in SnTe materials, and correlated states and topological phases in flat-band systems such as twisted bilayer graphene.
