Sergey Artyukhin

Since 2015 Sergey Artyukhin is leading Quantum Materials Theory research line at IIT. His interests are in realistic modelling of a broad range of phenomena in condensed matter, related to ground state properties, excitations, switching and photoexcited dynamics, particularly in materials with complex ferroic orders. He graduated from Moscow Institute for Physics and Technology in 2007 and completed his PhD on modelling frustrated magnets and multiferroics working with M. Mostovoy at University of Groningen (NL). He then worked as a postdoc with D. Vanderbilt, K. Rabe, closely collaborating with S.-W. Cheong and K. Haule at Rutgers, bridging state of the art first-principles calculations (DFT, DMFT) with model Hamiltonians.
