Dr. Denis BANDURIN is a Presidential Young Professorship Assistant Professor at MSE/NUS. He obtained his Ph.D. in condensed matter physics from the University of Manchester in 2017 (doctoral advisors: Profs. Andre Geim and Irina Grigorieva). Before joining NUS, he was a Pappalardo Fellow (Class 2018) in Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (postdoc advisor: Prof. Pablo Jarillo-Herrero) and a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow of the University of Manchester (Class 2017). He is a recipient of Singapore NRF Fellowship (Class 2025).
Research Interests
Dr. Bandurin contributed to the demonstration of hydrodynamic electron transport and viscous Hall effect in graphene, Fizeau drag in graphene plasmonics, and measurements of electron viscosity. His experiments also led to the development of high-temperature superconducting single-photon detectors and novel principles of THz sensing. At NUS, his research group explores the physical properties of novel low-dimensional quantum materials under mid- and far-IR excitation.
