Biography:
Gunnar Möller received his Master degree at Ecole Normale Supérieure Paris, and obtained a Ph.D. (Docteur en Sciences) from the Université de Paris XI in 2006. He joined the Theory of Condensed Matter group as a Postdoctoral Research Associate with Prof. Nigel Cooper, and has held principal investigator positions in the department since 2008, including a Junior Research Fellowship at Trinity Hall (2008), and a Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship (2011). He currently holds a Royal Society University Research Fellowship (2013).

Research Interests
Gunnar's research probes how collective effects emerge from interactions in many-body quantum systems. In particular, Gunnar has been interested in topological phases such as p-wave superfluids or two-dimensional electron gases in the fractional quantum Hall regime. He has also explored a range of new strongly interacting quantum systems that can be created in cold atomic gases, particularly by inducing synthetic magnetic fields.
