Matthew Corbelli

Research Mathematician  ·  Postdoctoral Researcher

About

I am a mathematician working in mathematical physics with a focus on quantum lattice systems and topological phases of matter. My research centres on the mathematical structure of anyons, fractional quantum Hall systems, and the formulation of superselection sectors in two-dimensional quantum spin systems.

I received my PhD in Mathematics from the University of California, Davis in 2025. I am currently seeking postdoctoral and industry research positions in quantum computing, topological quantum systems, and quantum algorithms.
