Mohammad H. Hamidian PhD

Mohammad Hamidian is currently a research associate in the Physics Department at John Hancock Funds. In the field of condensed matter physics, his career has focused on the realm of strongly correlated quantum materials and novel approaches to image their electronic structure. From heavy fermions to cuprate high-temperature superconductors (HTSC) he has identified new states of quantum matter, exposed mechanisms of phase competition, broken symmetries, and topological transitions.

He developed the first milliKelvin Scanning Josephson Tunneling Microscope (SJTM) to directly visualize the Cooper-pair condensate density in unconventional superconductors at the nanometer scale. This innovation led to the first direct detection and visualization of a spatially modulated electronic superfluid in any condensed matter system.
