The LPT is delighted to welcome Ivan Khaymovich, who was appointed as an external research director at the CNRS in 2025 and joined the laboratory in February 2026. After earning his PhD in Russia in 2013, Ivan continued his career as a postdoctoral researcher in Finland, Grenoble, Dresden, and then Sweden. He specializes in disordered quantum systems that exhibit unusual properties such as localization, ergodicity breaking, anomalous transport, and even multifractal properties.
To ensure he could launch his research career at LPT under the best possible conditions, Ivan secured funding from the CNRS, the program TIRIS of the University of Toulouse, and the Choose France for Science program.
