Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlexander Cerjan is a physicist and Principal Member of the Technical Staff at Sandia National Laboratories, leading research that blends topology, symmetry, and non-Hermitian physics to design novel photonic and electronic materials and devices. He develops and implements real-space methods for classifying material topology across experimental platforms and partners closely with mathematicians and experimentalists to move discoveries from theory to lab realization. With a Ph.D. from Yale and 12 years of experience spanning postdoctoral work at Stanford and Penn State, he runs the CINT user program to support external researchers leveraging his group’s theoretical and numerical capabilities. Notably, his background in generalizing laser theory (SALT) informs both predictive modeling and practical device design, giving him a rare combination of deep analytical insight and hands-on collaboration.
