Marein Rahn heads the Emmy Noether Group Correlated Electrons under Extreme Conditions at the Technical University of Dresden. His research aims to make innovative and complementary use of neutron and synchrotron radiation to disentangle the roles of charge and magnetic degrees of freedom in strongly correlated quantum matter. Following his Diploma research on topological magnetic materials at TU Munich, he was awarded a Clarendon Scholarship for doctoral studies in Condensed Matter Physics at the University of Oxford (2013-2017). In his D.Phil. project, he investigated a range of quantum materials platforms, including iron-based superconductors and correlated Dirac and Weyl-semimetals. To explore the capabilities of state-of-the-art x-ray scattering methodologies in a new context, he later joined a group at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL, 2017-2019). This postdoctoral project on valence-fluctuating f-electron systems was supported by a LANL Director’s Fellowship and a Feodor Lynen Fellowship of the Humboldt Society. In 2019, he returned to Germany as a scientific associate at TU Dresden. In 2023, he was accepted into the Emmy Noether programme of the German Research Foundation and initiated his junior research group.
