Hatef Sadeghi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hatef Sadeghi is Professor of Quantum Engineering, UKRI Future Leaders Fellow (UKRI FLF) and Head of Device Modelling Group in the School of Engineering at the University of Warwick. He is best known for his work in theory of molecular electronics and quantum, phonon and spin interference for quantum energy conversion.[1]

Career and research

[edit]

He obtained his PhD in Physics - Nanoelectronics from Lancaster University in 2016 and appointed as a Senior Research Associate at Lancaster University. He then was awarded a Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship in 2017[2] and a UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship in 2019[3] and in 2023 to exploit quantum and phonon interference in molecular-scale thermoelectric materials for energy harvesting and biosensing. He joined the School of Engineering at the University of Warwick in September 2019 as an assistant professor,[4] was promoted to associate professor in 2021, and to Full Professor and Chair of Quantum Engineering and Device Modelling in 2023.[5]

His main research area is the theory of quantum engineering of advanced quantum materials and devices, and he has played a foundational role in the development of innovative strategies for demonstrating, controlling, and exploiting quantum, spin, and phonon interference for applications in quantum energy conversion, quantum sensing, and quantum computing.[5] He develops fundamental ideas and theories, and is proactive in designing experiments for their implementation in the laboratory. He currently collaborates with several internationally recognised experimental groups and industries in the UK, EU, USA, and Asia. He has published more than 150 peer-reviewed papers, some of which are in top journals such as Nature, Nature Materials, Nature Nanotechnology, Nature Electronics, Nano Letters, PNAS, Journal of the American Chemical Society, Nature Communications, ACS Nano, Advanced Functional Materials, Science Advances, and Angewandte Chemie.[5]
