Prof. Oleg P. Sushkov, theoretical physics

 

Degrees

MSc, Novosibirsk State University, Russia, 1974
PhD in Physics, Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics, Novosibirsk, Russia, 1978
Doctor of Science (Habilitation), Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics, Novosibirsk, 1987

Professional Awards and Honours

  • 2011-2015 Australian Research Council Professorial Fellow

  • 2006 Alexander von Humboldt Research Award (Germany) for work on cuprate high temperature superconductors

  • 1983 Lenin Komsomol Russian Government prize (Official State Honour) for work on neutron nuclear reactions

  • 1979 Best Young Researcher Award, the Academy of Sciences, USSR, (Siberian division)

My current fields of research are

  • Quantum many-body theory

  • Quantum field theory and quantum phase transitions

  • Strong electron correlations

  • Spintronics

  • Topological quantum materials and artificial graphene.

My previous topics of research are related to fundamental physics. This includes:

  • The structure/effects of the weak interaction and parity violation in atoms and nuclei

  • Violation of fundamental time reversal symmetry and barionic asymmetry of the Universe (dominance of matter over antimatter)

  • Searches of light dark matter.

I still maintain some activity in those fields.
