Zachary Zajicek

I am a third year DPhil student in the Quantum Matter in High Magnetic Fields group, supervised by Amalia Coldea. My research interests are in understanding the electronic structure and superconductivity of iron-based superconductors under pressure. Different competing electronic phases can be reached and investigated at low temperatures, in high magnetic fields and under extreme pressures. I use various techniques such as transport, tunnel diode oscillator and quantum oscillations at ambient pressure and inside pressure cells to explore the competition between nematicity, superconductivity and magnetism.
