Biography

Alessandro Principi is a Reader in Theoretical Physics at the University of Manchester in the Department of Physics and Astronomy. His research focuses on the emergence of collective topological phenomena in quantum and classical many-body systems. By combining analytical quantum field theory methods with numerical computations, he aims to understand complex behaviors and global order that arise from simple microscopic rules. His current research interests include quantum spin liquids, interacting topological phases, frustrated magnetism, optoelectronic transport in 2D materials, and both classical and quantum non-Hermitian systems. He is actively seeking motivated students to join his research at the intersection of quantum field theory, condensed matter physics, and statistical mechanics, with an openness to exploring new directions in research.
