Research interestsJulia Hannukainen is a postdoctoral researcher in theoretical physics at the Cavendish Laboratory at the University of Cambridge. They completed their Ph.D. at KTH in Stockholm, specialising in quantum anomalies and topological quantum matter. They aim to continue their work on topological matter by exploring the physics of open quantum systems. Julia is passionate about promoting diversity in STEM and has initiated several projects addressing inequalities in the physics community. They hold a Bachelor’s degree in Ballet and Contemporary Dance and are interested in the intersection of art and science and how the two fields can aid each other. As a research associate at St. John’s College, Julia hopes to contribute to a broader conversation on research, art, and science in society.
