Raquel Queiroz

Raquel Queiroz is an Assistant Professor of Physics at Columbia University and a Visiting Scholar at the Center for Computation Quantum Physics, Flatiron Institute in New York City. She received her PhD from the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Physics in Stuttgart, Germany, in 2015 and was a postdoctoral fellow at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel from 2016 until 2021. In 2022, she established her group at Columbia University, where she studied topological and geometric properties of solids, primarily how quantum geometry affects electronic response, collective phenomena, and behavior in the presence of disorder. Her work is deeply motivated by current experimental findings and a constant dialogue with experimental colleagues.
