DAMASCELLI, Andrea - Department of Physics and Astronomy, The University of British Columbia
Damascelli’s research on the electronic structure of solids and the development of innovative spectroscopy techniques to study and manipulate quantum materials have led to pivotal contributions to the field of condensed matter physics. From uncovering the role of spin-orbit coupling in the superconductivity of Sr2RuO4 and Fe-based systems, to revealing charge order driven by Fermi-arc instabilities in cuprates, Damascelli’s pioneering work has bolstered and refocused the international community.
