Dr. Saikat Banerjee

Biography

I am a theoretical condensed matter physicist currently working as a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Rutgers University. Prior to this, I held postdoctoral positions at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in the United States and the University of Augsburg in Germany. I earned my doctoral degree at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden. Within the field of condensed matter physics, my primary focus lies in the exploration of strongly correlated systems. These encompass a diverse range of materials, such as high-temperature cuprate superconductors, magnetic Mott insulators, and quantum spin liquids. I am particularly intrigued by the intricate interplay between spin, charge, orbital, and lattice degrees of freedom in quantum materials. To tackle the complexities inherent in these systems, I employ a combination of analytical and numerical techniques, endeavoring to solve intriguing problems posed by their interactions. Through this approach, I aim to unveil new model Hamiltonians and shed light on the fundamental nature of these materials. Given the current research landscape's intense focus on various aspects of quantum materials, it is of paramount importance to establish the validity of such an approach. By delving into the complex dynamics and properties of strongly correlated systems, I aim to contribute to this broader scientific endeavor and advance our understanding of quantum materials.
