Dr. Pradip Kattel after his successful Ph.D. defense (second from the right) \u2013 October 6, 2025.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We are delighted to announce that Pradip Kattel<\/strong> has successfully defended his doctoral dissertation entitled \u201cQuantum Impurities and Boundary-Driven Phase Transitions in Strongly Correlated One-Dimensional Systems.\u201d<\/em>
\nThe defense took place on October 6 at Rutgers University<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Pradip\u2019s thesis explored quantum impurity models<\/em> and boundary criticality<\/em> in integrable and strongly correlated systems, employing a combination of Bethe Ansatz, field-theoretical, and numerical techniques to uncover new classes of boundary-driven phase transitions<\/em>. His research provides deep insights into the effects of impurities, edge fields, and non-equilibrium dynamics in low-dimensional quantum matter.<\/p>\n

Following his defense, Dr. Kattel<\/strong> has joined Thierry Giamarchi\u2019s group at the University of Geneva<\/strong> as a postdoctoral researcher<\/strong>, where he will continue his studies on strongly correlated quantum systems, non-equilibrium transport, and the interplay of disorder and interactions in low-dimensional materials.<\/p>\n

The Andrei Group warmly congratulates Dr. Kattel on his outstanding achievement and wishes him continued success in his future research endeavors!<\/p>\n
