Bernd Büchner

Bernd Büchner is since 2003 Professor for Experimental Physics at TUD Dresden University of Technology and Director of the IFW Institute for Solid State Research, as well as since 2018 Scientific Director of IFW Dresden. His scientific focus is on materials with strongly correlated electrons, superconductivity and magnetism in unconventional superconductors such as cuprates and iron-based chalcogenides, materials with topological electronic properties including topological superconductivity, and frustrated magnetism. His research, attested by over 1000 scientific publications, is based on the development of novel materials and the application and development of state-of-the-art experimental techniques. He is currently member of the steering committee of two large scientific initiatives funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (ct.qmat and SFB1143) and deputy spokesperson of the latter. In the last decades he has been active as a referee, board member and spokesperson for various German and international bodies and is a foreign member of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine since 2021.
