Denis Bandurin

NUS Presidential Young Professor

Assistant Professor

MSE

Dr Denis Bandurin graduated from Lomonosov Moscow State University in 2013 with a specialization in condensed matter physics. In 2014, Dr Bandurin moved to the UK where he did his Ph.D. as a member of the Marie Curie Training program. After graduation, he continued his research in Manchester as a research associate, and soon after he became a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow of the University of Manchester. In 2018, Dr Bandurin was awarded the Pappalardo fellowship in physics to conduct his research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) where he worked until 2021. Experimental works of Dr Bandurin led to the demonstration of the Fizeau drag in graphene plasmonics, hydrodynamic electron transport and viscous Hall effect as well as resulted in the measurements of the kinematic and Hall electron viscosities and the development of novel principles of THz detection. Dr Bandurin joined NUS as a PYP assistant professor in 2022.

The research group of Dr Denis Bandurin at NUS explores the physical properties of novel low-dimensional quantum materials via magneto-transport experiments in the presence of terahertz excitation and under extreme cryogenic conditions.

Research Interests

Novel low-dimensional materials, quantum transport, radiation-driven phenomena, plasmonics, nanofabrication, radiation detectors.
