Biography

Radu Coldea is a professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Oxford, specializing in quantum materials and quantum phase transitions. His research focuses on the experimental manifestation of cooperative quantum effects in strongly-interacting electron materials, exploring novel regimes such as strong frustration and quantum criticality. He employs advanced techniques, including neutron, synchrotron, and x-ray scattering, as well as magnetometry, to probe microscopic electronic states in these materials at millikelvin temperatures and high magnetic fields. His recent work has uncovered unconventional forms of magnetic order and spin dynamics, along with the study of magnetic quasiparticles and topological properties of these quantum systems.
