Jun.-Prof. Dr. Anna Isaeva started her work as junior professor for Synthesis and Crystal Growth in Quantum Materials at the Institute of Solid State and Materials Physics at 1 January 2019.

Following her doctorate in chemistry at the Faculty of Materials Science of the Lomonosov Moscow State University in 2008, Dr. Anna Isaeva gained multifaceted interdisciplinary research experience in transmission electron microscopy at the EMAT center of the University of Antwerp (2009-2010), Belgium, and in solid-state chemistry at TU Dresden (Institute of Inorganic Chemistry II) and solid-state physics with partner institutes within DRESDEN-Concept (since 2010). Her current work has a strong interdisciplinary spirit as it revolves around design, crystal growth and chemical modification of new quantum materials, in particular, topological insulators, frustrated magnets and materials with strong spin-orbit coupling.

The activities of Jun.-Prof. Isaeva’s working group are strongly embedded into the collaborative research center (SFB) 1143 “From Frustration to Topology” and Research Training Group 1621 “Itinerant magnetism and superconductivity in intermetallic compounds”.
