Biography

Professor Nuh Gedik joined the MIT Physics Department as an assistant professor in January 2008 after completing his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of California, Berkeley, in 2004. He received his B.S. in Physics from Bogazici University in Istanbul, Turkey, in 1998. Gedik's research focuses on investigating quantum materials using advanced optical techniques, specifically time-resolved spectroscopies that probe the dynamics of charge, spin, and lattice excitations. His work explores fascinating emergent phenomena in systems with strong correlations, such as high-temperature superconductivity and colossal magnetoresistance. Over the years, Professor Gedik has developed novel methods that achieve unprecedented resolutions in time, momentum, and energy, particularly in studying topological insulators and atomically layered materials. He was promoted to Full Professor in Physics in 2018 and has received numerous awards, including the National Science Foundation CAREER Award and the Department of Energy Early Career Award. Gedik has significantly contributed to the field, being recognized as a Fellow of the American Physical Society and receiving the Gordon Betty Moore Experimental Investigator Award.
