Ugne Miniotaite

I am a doctoral student in experimental condensed matter physics in the SMaRT (Sustainable Materials and Reserarch Technologies) group of Martin Månsson, where I study correlated electron systems and topological materials. Before starting my PhD at KTH, I studied Engineering Physics at Chalmers University of Technology, where I developed a strong interest in condensed matter physics and experimental methods.

In my research, I use large-scale facility techniques, including X-ray and neutron scattering, as well as muon spin rotation and resonance, to investigate the connection between crystal structure and magnetism in quantum materials. By combining these methods, I work to resolve magnetic structures, phase transitions and other emergent phenomena which appear when electrons interact in complex ways.

Alongside my research, I have been a teaching assistant (TA) in different courses. In these roles, I lead exercise sessions, lab sessions, support students with problem solving and help them build work on their own projects.

Courses that I have been a TA in:
SK2904 Quantum Materials
SK1119 Thermodynamics and Statistical Physics
SK2758 Solid State Physics 
SK1108 Classical Physics
SK1115 Electromagnetism and Waves
