Andrea Damascelli

Andrea Damascelli is a Professor in the Department of Physics & Astronomy at The University of British Columbia. Her research focuses on the electronic structure of quantum materials, particularly unconventional oxide superconductors. She utilizes spectroscopic techniques such as angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and resonant elastic x-ray scattering (REXS) to study the low-energy electronic structure of solids. Dr. Damascelli has held various leadership roles, including Deputy Director of the UBC Quantum Matter Institute and Scientific Director of the UBC Stewart Blusson Quantum Matter Institute. She is a Canada Research Chair in the Electronic Structure of Quantum Materials and has received numerous awards, including the CAP/DCMMP Brockhouse Medal and Fellowships from the Royal Society of Canada, American Physical Society, and CIFAR Quantum Materials Program.

Andrea Damascelli is a researcher at the University of British Columbia, specializing in Quantum Materials. Her work focuses on understanding the electronic structure and superconducting properties of complex materials, particularly cuprate superconductors. Using techniques such as angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and resonant x-ray scattering, she investigates phenomena like charge order, Fermi arcs, and superfluid density. Her research also explores the role of chemical inhomogeneity and doping in high-temperature superconductors, as well as surface states and relativistic Mott insulators. Damascelli's studies contribute to unraveling the mysteries of quantum criticality and pseudogap effects in strongly correlated systems.
