Biography
Adam Noden is a condensed matter physicist specialising in quantum materials, strongly correlated systems, and emergent electronic phases. His group combines analytical modelling with low-temperature transport and scanning probe measurements to understand how topology and electron interactions give rise to novel ground states.
Before joining St Mark's College (University of Exeter) in 2021, he previously held research appointments at MIT's Francis Bitter Magnet Laboratory and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at ETH Zürich. I direct the Quantum Materials & Devices Laboratory (QMD Lab) at Exeter.
