Predrag Nikolic is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at George Mason University. His research focuses on condensed matter physics, particularly on strongly correlated electrons and ultra-cold atoms. He employs mostly analytical methods from quantum field theory to understand unconventional phases and phase transitions in many-body quantum systems. His major research interests include strongly correlated topological materials, high-temperature superconductors (such as cuprates and iron-based compounds), ultra-cold atoms in the unitarity regime, and frustrated quantum magnets. Notable publications include work on topological spin dynamics and the analysis of spin excitons in Kondo insulators. He is actively involved in academic research that contributes to the fundamental understanding of quantum materials and phenomena.
