Dr Evgeny Kozik studied at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology gaining a BSc in 2001 and an MSc in Applied Physics and Mathematics in 2003. In 2007 he was awarded a PhD in Condensed Matter Theory from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and went on to be a postdoctoral researcher at ETH Zurich. In 2011 he moved to École Polytechnique in Paris on a Fellowship for Advanced Researchers from the Swiss National Science Foundation. He joined King’s College London as a lecturer in October 2013.

Research

Evgeny's research interests are in the theory of correlated many-body fermionic and bosonic systems, ultracold atoms, superfluidity, superconductivity, and superfluid turbulence. He has recently been focused on the development of numerical methods enabling unbiased and accurate descriptions of correlated fermions. He is a co-author of the diagrammatic Monte Carlo approach to generic many-body systems of fermions on a lattice and in the continuum.

PhD opening

A PhD position is open in the group of Dr Evgeny Kozik in the development of novel computational techniques for predicting properties of correlated electrons with known and controlled error bars, and their application to the longstanding problem of unconventional and high-temperature superconductivity. These methods will be based on the diagrammatic Monte Carlo framework – a range of tools and ideas for describing strong and long-range correlations using the stochastic summation of the Feynman diagrammatic series to high order directly in the thermodynamic limit.

Postdoc opening

Applicants are invited to apply for a Postdoctoral Research Associate role in the group of Dr Evgeny Kozik with a start date of 1st April 2023. The successful applicant will join a collaboration with the experiment group led by Dr Clifford Hicks (Birmingham) and the theory group of Prof Joseph Betouras (Lough borough) focused on understanding and controlling mechanisms of unconventional superconductivity. We are looking for candidates with a background in the development and application of advanced computational approaches to correlated electrons, as well as strong programming skills. Experience with diagrammatic Monte Carlo methods and studies of superconductivity or closely related problems is desired. To apply and for more details, please follow this link.
