Dr. Plumb conducts research within the Spectroscopy of Quantum Materials group. He is also contributing to the design and realization of the new QUEST beamline for ARPES in SLS 2.0.

Dr. Plumb’s research focuses on spectroscopic investigations of quantum materials in which many-body interactions give rise to surprising and promising new phenomena, such as high-temperature and/or unconventional superconductivity, metal-insulator transitions, colossal magnetoresistance, colossal thermopower, and so on. He is involved in the development of instrumentation and methods for photoemission spectroscopy at the Swiss Light Source.
