Alessandro Principi is a Reader in Theoretical Physics at the University of Manchester, specializing in the emergence of collective topological phenomena in quantum and classical many-body systems. His research combines analytical quantum field theory methods with numerical computations to understand complex behavior and global order arising from simple microscopic rules. His current research interests include quantum spin liquids, interacting topological phases, frustrated magnetism, and optoelectronic transport in two-dimensional materials. He focuses on the entanglement of interactions and modern concepts of topology and geometry, which give rise to novel phases of matter and unconventional excitations. His group actively welcomes motivated students eager to explore these fields at the interface of quantum field theory, condensed matter physics, and statistical mechanics. He is also interested in projects that study the electrodynamic properties of confined polar liquids and the novel quantum phases arising from fractionalized excitations.
Includes MSc in Advanced Electrical Power Systems and MSc in Communications and Signal Processing.
