Artem Mishchenko
Senior Fellow 2025–2026

Artem Mishchenko is a condensed matter physicist at the University of Manchester (UK), studying quantum phenomena in two-dimensional (2D) materials and their layered combinations, known as van der Waals heterostructures. By assembling these ultra-thin crystals one layer at a time, his team investigates how atomic-scale interactions give rise to novel electronic, magnetic, and optical behaviors.

His laboratory combines advanced techniques—such as crystal and thin-film growth, nanofabrication, scanning probe microscopy, optical and near-field spectroscopy, and high-field magnetotransport—to generate rich experimental data. These experiments are integrated with tight-binding and density functional calculations, which, in turn, feed into machine learning models that adapt in real time. This creates a dynamic feedback loop in which artificial intelligence helps design the next experiment, while each experiment improves the AI model.
