Dr. Miklos Horvath is a theoretical physicist who is interested in quantum many-body systems. He earned his PhD in 2016 at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. Later on, he was a research assistant at the Wigner Research Centre in Budapest, where he explored unconventional transport properties of high-energy matter, such as, the shear viscosity of the quark-gluon plasma. In 2017 he started a postdoctoral appointment in Wuhan at the Center for Nuclear Matter Science of the Central China Normal University. There, his research focused on chiral-anomaly-related transport phenomena of strongly interacting systems. At the end of 2020, he joined BAQIS as a senior postdoctoral fellow in the Condensed Matter Theory Group. Since the end of 2023, he has been an Assistant Research Scientist in the same group.

Benefiting from his expertise in chiral fermions and their topological properties, Dr. Horváth’s more recent focus is to explore emergent Dirac and relativistic physics in condensed matter systems, with the goal to identify novel candidate platforms for spintronic and quantum computing applications. During his time at BAQIS, he has been mainly working on the non-equilibrium behavior of topological quantum matter, the non-linear electrodynamics and spin dynamics of Dirac and Weyl semimetals, and the study of quenched 1D topological systems. A number of the above research topics have so far received funding from the NSFC, through the Theoretical Physics Special Fund and the Research Fund for International Young Scientists.
