Dr. Pallab Goswami

Biography

Pallab Goswami is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Northwestern University. He received his PhD from the University of California, Los Angeles in 2008. His research is centered on condensed matter physics, particularly the study of emergent low temperature phases in correlated disordered materials. Goswami's work focuses on developing theoretical tools that address emergent quantum phases and quantum phase transitions in strongly correlated disordered materials, with a particular emphasis on the underlying topological properties. His research interests are motivated by recent advancements in quantum material science, which allows for the exploration of the interplay between strong electronic interactions and spin-orbit coupling in materials such as iridium-based oxides and Heusler heavy fermion compounds. His studies often involve the phase diagrams of systems exhibiting competing orders and topological features, as well as exotic quantum critical phenomena. Goswami enjoys engaging with abstract theoretical problems and values close collaborations with experimental groups in his field.
