DESCRIPTION:Prof. Mitali Banerjee\, Laboratory of Quantum Physics\, Topol
 ogy and Correlations - LQP\n15:15   Inaugural Lecture Prof. Mitali Baner
 jee\n16:05  Inaugural Lecture Prof. Pasquale Scarlino\n\nElectrons\, when
  restricted to move in a two-dimensional (2D) space\, often do not behave 
 like fermions in 3D space\, due to strong correlations originating from th
 e topological character of the hosting band structure (e.g.\, band’s fla
 tness leading to slow electrons and strong interactions). Prime examples a
 re heterostructures of twisted monolayers of graphene\, which offer rich p
 hases like superconductivity\, ferromagnetism\, correlated insulating stat
 e\, etc. Under quantizing magnetic field\, topological quantum Hall states
  emerge\, hosting exotic\, fractionally charged\, quasiparticles (Anyons)\
 , which are non-local and thus fundamentally distinct from fermions (aka\,
  para-fermions)\, being more resilient to the deleterious effects of the e
 nvironment.\nIn this talk\, I will give some background (motivation) behin
 d the work I am currently pursuing in my laboratory and share some new res
 ults we have recently measured in EPFL.\n\nBiography\nMitali Banerjee rece
 ived her Ph.D. degree from S. N. Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences\,
  (Kolkata\, 2012)\; Postdoctoral studies at the Indian Institute of Scienc
 e (Bangalore\, 2013)\; and the Weizmann Institute of Science (Israel\, 201
 8)\, where she received the Institute Outstanding Postdoctoral Fellow Awar
 d (2018). Followed by a Research Associate at Columbia University (USA\, 2
 019). She joined EPFL as an Assistant Professor at 2020\, where she is stu
 dying quantum states of matter at low temperatures and high magnetic field
 . She received the Eccellenza grant from FNS in 2020 and the QuantERA cons
 ortium grant in 2022.
