Throughout my career I have worked on a variety of topics within the broad field of theoretical condensed matter physics, with the overarching objective to better understand correlated systems of electrons and the phases of matter they harbor. Examples include so-called heavy-fermion materials, unconventional superconductivity originating from strong electron interactions in materials as diverse as cuprates, uranium- and iron-based materials; formal classification of the symmetry-enriched topological phases of matter; and search for exotic phases of matter in strongly frustrated quantum spin systems, among others. This has led me on a path of exploration that is not easy to fit into any one subfield, and resulted in cross-fertilization of ideas from topological physics, conventional solid state, and quantum information theory. The tools I use range from pen-and-paper renormalization group analysis, to concepts from algebraic topology and category theory, to the heavy numerical tensor-network and Monte Carlo simulations of classical and quantum magnets.

Education
Dr Nevidomskyy received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. summa cum laude from National University of Ivan Franko in Lviv, Ukraine. He earned his Ph.D. degree in Physics from the University of Cambridge, UK in 2005.
Professional Appointments
Andriy Nevidomskyy held postdoctoral fellowships at the University of Sherbrooke, Canada and Rutgers University, before joining Rice University as an Assistant Professor of Physics and Astronomy in 2010. He was promoted to Associate Professor with tenure in 2017 and to full Professor in 2023. Starting from 2025, he was appointed a Senior Scientist and Leader of Condensed Matter Theory group at BNL, as a dual appointment with Rice University.
