Extreme conditions tuning of two dimensional quantum materials – uncovering new magnetic and electronic states DR. COAK, Matthew University Of Birmingham I completed my undergraduate degree in physics at the University of Oxford, with my masters thesis on the development of proximity-detector-oscillators for use in pulsed magnetic fields. Following this I moved on to a PhD at the University of Cambridge under Dr Siddharth Saxena, graduating in 2017. My specialisation was in the use of high pressure to tune quantum criticality in ferroelectric systems and Mott transitions in 2D insulating antiferromagnets. My first postdoctoral position was in the Emergent Phenomena Group of the IBS Centre for Correlated Electron Systems at Seoul National University, under Prof Je-Geun Park. Here I headed the van-der-Waals materials team and continued my investigation into Mott transitions and the tuning of low-dimensional magnetism with pressure, including synchrotron and neutron scattering studies. I then joined the Superconductivity and Magnetism group at Warwick in March 2019. I worked with Dr Paul Goddard from 2019 to 2021 using pressure, magnetic fields and low temperatures to tune and study low-dimensional magnetic materials and superconductors. In 2022 I left Warwick to take up a position as a Senior Research Fellow working with Dr Mark Buitelaar in the Quantum Devices Group at University College London. Here I worked on new underlying technologies for qubits in a distributed quantum computer based on measurement-based entanglement. I started as a Lecturer here at Birmingham in 2023, where I am heading a group doing extreme conditions measurements of 2D magnetic materials. I was very grateful to be named as one of the Institute of Physics' Emerging Leaders 2019 - "the most exciting researchers of their generation, with the potential to revolutionise their fields".

Now, I am working as a senior research associate with Prof. Isobel Hook at Lancaster University, UK. Currently, I am a member of two international collaborations: the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) and 4-metre Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope (4MOST) collaborations. By developing new modules with Python for SEDMachine spectroscopic data in the ZTF collaboration, I have obtained ‘builder status’, which proves my practical computing skills. ‘Builder status’ is given to those members who have made significant contributions to building the collaboration, both its community and its simulation and analysis pipeline and infrastructure software.

Exploring the Masses of the Two Most Distant Gravitational Lensing Clusters at the Cosmic Noon through Infrared Weak Lensing with Hubble Space Telescope DR. KIM, Jinhyub University Of Oxford I am a postdoctoral research assistant in point spread function (PSF) modeling for the Euclid mission. I test/verify the PSF modeling algorithm and investigate the impact of PSF model bias on the weak lensing (WL) shear measurement. During my Ph.D. supervised by Prof. M. James Jee at Yonsei University in South Korea, I used my WL analysis and estimated the mass of galaxy clusters at high redshift (z > 0.8) observed by the Hubble Space Telescope. My WL results of high redshift clusters confirm that extremely massive high-z clusters are compatible with the LCDM cosmology. I am also interested in building mass scaling relations for high redshift clusters, which will serve as leverage to determine accurate masses.
