Karlsruhe Institute of Technology
The Initiative is coordinated by researchers at the Institute for Theory of Condensed Matter at KIT. The KIT team consists of theorists who have made major contributions to problems in the areas of quantum transport, mesoscopic physics, and hydrodynamics of electronic materials with particular focus on graphene and related systems.
Weizmann Institute of Science
The Weizmann Institute team consists of theoretical and experimental groups. The theoretical group is led by Gregory Falkovich who is one world-leading experts in the field of fluid dynamics. The experimental group of Shahal Ilani is a world leader in the scanning probe imaging and has recently achieved the first observation of Poiseuille flow of hydrodynamic electrons.
Università di Pisa
The Pisa group led by Marco Polini is renowned for its works on the theory of Fermi-liquid hydrodynamics as well as solid-state optics and plasmonics.
The University of Manchester
The Manchester team consists of experimental and theoretical groups. The experimental group (Andre Geim, Irina Grigorieva) is famous for the Nobel-Prize winning discovery of graphene and possesses an outstanding expertise in investigation of its transport and magnetic properties. Recent activity of the group had a particular focus on van der Waals heterostructures. The theory group (Alessandro Principi) has a superb research record in modelling optical, transport and magnetic properties of graphene.
Stichting Katholieke Universiteit
The Nijmegen group (Mikhail Katsnelson, Mikhail Titov) is renowned for ground-breaking theoretical results that have provided theoretical foundation for graphene research. The group has also outstanding expertise in computational approaches to strongly correlated systems and in hydrodynamics of multiband materials.
Wolfram Research Europe Limited
The Wolfram Research group (leaders: Jon McLoone, Mark Braithwaite) has an outstanding experience in development of computational technologies that include platforms and algorithms for solving complex problems of hydrodynamics.
