Symmetry, Geometry, and Topology in Quantum Materials
In the Wieder Research Group, we study analytically and numerically tractable problems in solid-state materials, employing theoretical and computational methods grounded in symmetry and geometry. We have most recently focused on predicting, classifying, and identifying topological electronic states of matter in experimentally accessible materials.

Our discovery of novel topological surface anomalies in real materials through the framework of spin-resolved topology was published this week in Nature Communications.
Starting in October 2022, Ben will be a junior faculty member at the Institut de Physique Théorique (IPhT) and French CEA at Université Paris-Saclay. We have an immediate opening for a postdoctoral researcher in Condensed Matter and Materials Theory, and will soon have other openings for group members at the IPhT at a range of experience levels.
Our discovery of 0D topological defect and flux states in 3D materials, on which research began over 4 years ago, was pubished this week in Nature Communications.
