Prof. Artem Mishchenko
Artem Mishchenko is a leading condensed matter physicist and Professor at the University of Manchester, renowned for his pioneering work on quantum phenomena in van der Waals heterostructures—particularly multilayer graphene and related 2D materials. With a PhD in Molecular Electronics from the University of Bern (2010), he has since become a Fellow of both the Institute of Physics and the Royal Society of Chemistry.
His laboratory combines advanced techniques—such as crystal and thin-film growth, nanofabrication, scanning probe microscopy, optical and near-field spectroscopy, and high-field magnetotransport—to generate rich experimental data. These experiments are integrated with tight-binding and density functional calculations, which, in turn, feed into machine learning models that adapt in real time. This creates a dynamic feedback loop in which artificial intelligence helps design the next experiment, while each experiment improves the AI model
He has authored over 150 peer-reviewed publications, boasts an h-index above 55, and has been recognized as a Highly Cited Researcher multiple times. Among his accolades are the EMFL Prize and a prestigious ERC Consolidator Grant. Mishchenko continues to shape the future of quantum materials through interdisciplinary approaches that merge physics, chemistry, and machine learning.
