ICAM Science Reporters

Meet our ICAM Science Reporters. They are the eyes and ears for ICAM Week of Science Reporters happening on Jan 13-17, 2025 at Nau mi haere mai ki Aotearoa, New Zealand.

I study spin ice, a remarkable state of matter first seen by experiments in the late 90’s which behaves as though it contains magnetic monopoles. This is a so-called spin liquid – a material which, despite being composed of strong microscopic magnets, does not form any kind of long-ranged magnetic order even when cooled to zero temperature.

Euan Grainger
Home Institution: University of Bristol

BIO: I am exploring how the “Hat”, a newly discovered aperiodic monotile, can be modelled as a quasi-crystal. Specifically, I am working on modelling the phase transition as you tune between a periodic and aperiodic lattice, as the Hat when tiled exists as a subset of a regular hexagonal lattice (unusually).

Sebastian Leontica
Home Institution: Hubbard Theory Consortium

BIO: My work focuses on theoretical aspects of tensor networks and their significance for quantum many body systems. This broadly covers phenomena such as quantum chaos, thermalization, and measurement-induced dynamics in condensed matter systems.

Shyam Raj Karullithodi
Home Institution: Florida State University

BIO: My research focused on experimental condensed matter physics, and I am currently working on the growth and characterization of topological magnetic materials. This includes quantum transport studies, magnetization measurements, and real-space imaging of topological spin structures.
