Evgeny Redekop

Biography

Evgeny was born in Moscow, Russia. He studied field emission properties of carbon nanomaterials at Moscow State University. During that time, he founded a hardware startup and published a paper in a highly cited journal. After graduating with a B.Sc. in physics, Evgeny joined the Materials Science M.Sc. program at Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology. His research focused on the electronic and magnetic properties of 2D metal-organic frameworks possessing kagome lattice crystal structure. He defended the M.Sc. thesis with honors and moved to Santa Barbara. Here he is pursuing a doctoral degree in physics under the guidance of Professor Andrea F. Young. His main research topic is developing the SQUID-on-tip technique to spacially resolve magnetic and thermal effects in quantum materials.

I defended my PhD at UC Santa Barbara in March and joined the University of Washington as a Thouless Postdoctoral Fellow, co-advised by Charles Marcus and Matt Yankowitz.

At UW, my research will sit at the interface of mesoscopic superconductivity and quantum information science, with hybrid platforms in 2DEGs and graphene as the experimental starting point. Excited to be in Seattle and looking forward to connecting with new colleagues across the quantum and 2D materials communities.
