Grant: Canada Research Chairs
University of Alberta
$100,000.00
Condensed Matter Theory
FY 2023-24
Summary
Dr. Maciejko¿s research focuses on elucidating the behavior of novel quantum materials, such as topological materials and spin liquids, whose unusual electronic properties may lead to disruptive new technologies. To understand how such properties can emerge from microscopic interactions between electrons, Dr. Maciejko¿s research transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries and draws inspiration from fields as diverse as quantum physics, abstract mathematics, and elementary particle physics. Dr. Maciejko¿s research will advance our fundamental understanding of quantum materials and contribute to usher in a new era of technologies based on these materials, including dissipationless interconnects and a fault-tolerant quantum computer.
