Frédéric Mila

Frédéric Mila is a condensed-matter theorist who studies strongly correlated systems. After completing his Ph.D. in surface physics at the Université Paris Sud, he did postdoctoral research at the ETH in Switzerland, Rutgers University in the U.S., and Université de Neuchâtel, also in Switzerland, studying high-temperature cuprate superconductors and organic conductors. He later took a position with the CNRS in Toulouse, where he stayed until 2000. He is now a professor at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland. His current research focus is frustrated magnetism and SU(N) models of cold atoms.
