Professor Thorsten Hesjedal FInstP

I am Professor of Condensed Matter Physics at Oxford. My research explores the interplay of topology and magnetism in quantum materials.

I study how symmetry, electronic structure, and magnetic order combine to generate chiral spin textures, topological electronic phases, and unconventional transport phenomena. Rather than focusing on a specific synthesis technique, my work centres on identifying and stabilising the physical mechanisms that enable controllable topological magnetic states.

We combine materials development, advanced spectroscopy, and magneto-transport measurements, working closely with synchrotron facilities including the Diamond Light Source.
