Jamir Marino leads the Non-Equilibrium Universality in Quantum Matter (NEUQUAM) research team at the State University of New York at Buffalo. He was previously an assistant professor at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz in Germany and held postdoctoral positions at Harvard University, JILA at the University of Colorado Boulder, and the University of Cologne in Germany. He studies whether quantum phenomena can endure over long times and large distances in scalable many-body systems—whether isolated or subject to driven–dissipative dynamics. Together with his team, he focuses on identifying those emergent phases of matter that demand a genuine quantum description, beyond classical surrogates or phenomenological descriptions. His work is concept rather than method centric, and it spans across theoretical condensed-matter physics, quantum many-body optics, quantum-information science, and field theory.
