M. Zahid Hasan

M. Zahid Hasan is a Professor of Physics at Princeton University's Department of Physics. His research focuses on Condensed Matter Experiment, particularly in the field of Topological Quantum Matter. Hasan has been a major researcher in this area since obtaining his Ph.D. from Stanford University in 2002. His work includes the development of novel instrumentation and the discovery of new phases of matter, such as topological insulators, Weyl magnets, and chiral materials. He has led collaborative projects at institutions like Stanford’s SLAC National Accelerator and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Hasan has also been involved in theoretical predictions and experimental validations of various topological phenomena, including Weyl fermion semimetals and topological Fermi arcs. His contributions have been published in numerous scientific journals and proceedings.

M. Zahid Hasan is the Eugene Higgins Professor of Physics at Princeton University and an Investigator at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. His research focuses on quantum condensed matter, topological matter, quantum transport, and condensed matter physics. Hasan's work explores topological insulators, Weyl fermion semimetals, and topological Dirac semimetals, with a particular emphasis on quantum spin textures and chiral spin effects. His studies have led to the discovery of unconventional quantum phenomena, including topological Fermi arcs and three-dimensional topological insulators. Hasan's research has significantly advanced the understanding of materials with nontrivial topology and their potential applications in quantum technologies.
