Talk title: Superconductivity and Orbitronics - Exploring Rashba Edelstein Effects with Broken Inversion Symmetry

Tom is a researcher in theoretical condensed matter physics who specialises in spin transport phenomena and the interaction between magnetism and superconductivity. He has a strong background in electronic structure methods, particularly in the Green’s function methodologies and Wannier interpolation. He completed his PhD in 2020 at the University of Bristol with the supervisors Dr. Martin Gradhand and Prof. James Annett looking at the effect of impurities on the superconducting state. Then, he moved to Mainz where he worked with Prof. Mathias Kläui and Prof. Yuriy Mokrousov on spin transport phenomena of 2D materials, nonmcollinear antiferromagnets and superconducting Rashba systems. He visited the group of Prof. Jacob Gayles at the University of South Florida in the US on a travel grant, where he continued his work looking at systems with crystal chirality. He is now at the University of Halle with Prof. Samir Lounis continuing to improve Green’s function based methodologies for systems exhibiting superconductivity, magnetism and nontrivial topology.
