James Analytis

James Analytis is a Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of California, Berkeley. He joined the faculty in January 2013 as the Charles Kittel Chair in condensed matter physics and served as Department Chair from 2020 to 2023. His research focuses on unconventional superconductors, quantum critical systems, frustrated magnets, and topological spintronics. Analytis' work explores the discovery and understanding of exotic materials that exhibit novel quantum phenomena with both fundamental and technological implications. He has contributed to the development of transformative reforms in graduate admissions, undergraduate mentoring, and faculty hiring during his tenure as Department Chair. His lab aims to create materials at the boundary of our understanding of condensed matter physics by designing and tuning their properties to observe quantum phenomena under ordinary conditions.

James Analytis is a researcher at the University of California, Berkeley, focusing on superconductivity, topological insulators, quantum magnetism, broken symmetry, and quantum criticality. His work explores the experimental realization of three-dimensional topological insulators, such as Bi2Te3, and investigates massive Dirac fermions on magnetically doped topological insulators. He also examines in-plane resistivity anisotropy in iron arsenide superconductors and topological valley transport in bilayer graphene. His research includes the study of nematic susceptibility in iron-based superconductors and unconventional Josephson effects in hybrid superconductor-topological insulator devices. Analytis contributes to understanding bulk Fermi surface coexistence with Dirac surface states and the electronic structure of iron-based superconductors like LaOFeP.
