Ivar Martin is a condensed matter theorist in the Material Science Division. His interests include equilibrium properties of materials, including superconductivity and magnetism, as well as emergent collective phenomena far from equilibrium.  He is also interested in microscopic theory of quantum decoherence and quantum measurement.

Martin got his undergraduate degree from the Moscow State University, and PhD from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.  In 1999 he went to Los Alamos National Lab, first as a postdoc and then as a staff member. He came to Argonne in 2013.
