Bio
Eslam Khalaf is a condensed matter theorist working mostly on theoretical problems motivated by experiments. His work addresses questions in the physics of disorder, topological insulators and semimetals, mechanisms for superconductivity in multi-layer graphene heterostructures, and new phenomena in quasicrystals and moiré systems.
Eslam Khalaf got his PhD in 2017 from the Max Planck institute working on problems of topology and localization for which he was awarded the Otto Hahn medal by the Max Planck Society. Between 2018 and 2022, he was a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard working on problems of topology and correlations, particularly in the context of moiré systems. In fall 2022, he started an assistant professor position at the University of Texas at Austin. In fall 2023, he moved back to Harvard for an assistant professor position.
