Gregor Jotzu leads the Dynamic Quantum Materials Laboratory (DQML) at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). His research focuses on controlling quantum materials through the dynamics induced by intense low-frequency laser pulses. He studied physics at the University of Oxford and was awarded the Michael von Clemm Fellowship at Harvard University in 2009/2010. He obtained his doctorate from ETH Zurich, where he researched quantum magnetism and the driving-induced order in ultracold atoms in optical lattices under the supervision of Tilman Esslinger. Jotzu's work regarding Haldane's proposal for a topological insulator through Floquet engineering has been recognized by a General Physics Prize from the Swiss Physical Society and has been cited by the Nobel Prize committee. In 2017, he joined Andrea Cavalleri's laboratory at the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter in Hamburg, Germany, working on creating novel states of matter in solids through periodic driving with ultrafast lasers, thus inducing nontrivial topology in high-temperature superconductivity.
