Mark Edmonds is an Associate Professor and ARC Future Fellow in the School of Physics and Astronomy at Monash University. He received his PhD from La Trobe University in 2014. Mark was previously an ARC DECRA Fellow from 2016 to 2019 and has been recognized with various awards, including the Monash University Faculty of Science Early Career Researcher Award, the Australian Institute of Physics Laby Medal for best honours thesis, and the Nancy Millis PhD Prize for best PhD thesis at La Trobe University. His research interests focus on the electronic properties of two-dimensional atomically thin materials, known as topological materials, which have applications in low-energy electronics. He employs molecular beam epitaxy for material growth, allowing atomic-level precision in the fabrication of novel heterostructures. Mark uses a variety of experimental techniques, including synchrotron-based photoelectron spectroscopy and scanning probe microscopy, to explore the electronic band structure and nanoscale electrical properties of these materials. He is open to supervising projects related to atomically thin topological materials and collaborates actively in several research initiatives, contributing to the understanding of complex spin textures and magnetic van der Waals heterostructures.
