Radu Coldea

Radu Coldea’s research involves the use of neutron and synchrotron x-ray scattering techniques to probe the structure and dynamics in complex magnetic materials with the aim to understand emergent phenomena that arise from quantum correlation effects between strongly interacting electrons. Radu is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and recipient of the B.T.M. Willis prize for neutron scattering from the Institute of Physics and the Faraday Division of the Royal Society of Chemistry for 'fundamental research into quantum properties of novel materials'. Radu is a Professor of Physics at the University of Oxford, having previously been a Lecturer and EPSRC Advanced Research Fellow at the University of Bristol, and held postdoctoral research positions in the Clarendon Laboratory at Oxford, the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (USA) and the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory.
