Markus Braden is a Professor of Physics at the University of Cologne, Germany. His research interest is in transition-metal compounds with strong electronic correlations focusing on unconventional superconductors, the impact of strong spin-orbit coupling and multiferroic order. The group combines various X-ray and neutron scattering techniques to study the magnetic and crystal structure as well as the associated excitations with the growth of large single crystals. In collaboration with TU Munich the group constructed a cold triple-axis spectrometer optimized for polarization analysis.
