Professor Dr. Pavel Wiegmann

Biography

Pavel Wiegmann is a Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Chicago. He is affiliated with the James Franck Institute, Enrico Fermi Institute, and Kadanoff Center for Theoretical Physics. His research focuses on several areas within condensed matter physics, particularly the study of electronic systems in low dimensions, quantum magnetism, and correlated electronic systems. He is also engaged in exploring quantum Hall effects and topological aspects of condensed matter theories, as well as the behavior of electronic systems that are out of equilibrium. In addition to his work in condensed matter physics, Professor Wiegmann has significant contributions to statistical mechanics, including non-equilibrium statistical mechanics and critical phenomena governed by conformal symmetry. His expertise extends to mathematical physics, particularly integrable models, quantum field theory, and representation theory. Wiegmann's interests also encompass nonlinear physics, involving driven non-equilibrium systems and complexities such as turbulence, fractal aspects, and interface dynamics.
