Frank Kruger obtained a PhD from the University of Cologne in 2004. Following his graduation, he worked under the supervision of Dr. Stefan Scheidl and Professor Thomas Nattermann on complex ordering phenomena with spin and charge degrees of freedom in high-temperature superconductors. In 2005, he moved to the University of Leiden in the Netherlands to work with Professor Jan Zaanen as a postdoctoral research assistant studying quantum criticality in strongly correlated electron systems. By 2008, Kruger became a research fellow at the Institute of Condensed Matter Theory at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. After several years in the United States, he worked as a Research Fellow and Honorary Lecturer at the University of St Andrews in Scotland from 2010 to 2014. In 2014, he was appointed Lecturer in Condensed Matter Physics at University College London and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2018. Currently, as part of a collaboration agreement, Dr. Kruger splits his time between UCL and the ISIS Neutron Scattering Facility in Oxfordshire.
