I’m Błażej Jaworowski, a postdoc in the group of Darrick Chang in ICFO in Barcelona. My area of expertise is the physics of low-dimensional condensed-matter systems, such as the 2d material graphene, or more exotic systems such as the fractional quantum Hall states – complicated “liquids” of electrons arising as a combined effect of 2D geometry (electrons confined to a plane), magnetic fields and interactions between electrons. I particularly like unconventional “mutations” of these systems, e.g. systems with fractal geometry, which is neither 1- nor 2-dimensional, but something in between. My approach is predominantly numerical, i.e. I simulate the behaviour of these systems with computers. For the specialists here: I make a heavy use of methods such as exact diagonalization and DMRG. See the list of my publications at ORCID and preprints at ArXiv.
Before coming to Barcelona, I made my PhD in Wrocław University of Science and Technology under the supervision of Prof. Arkadiusz Wójs, and subsequently I spent four years as a postdoc in Anne Nielsen’s group, first in Dresden, than Aarhus.
In addition to physics, I am interested in environmentalism and science fiction (and intersection of both, i.e. climate fiction and solarpunk).
