Roderich Moessner is a condensed matter physicist working on physics of strong fluctuations in many-body systems due to frustration, competing degrees of freedom or quantum fluctuations. Moessner received his PhD from University of Oxford and is now serving as one of the directors of the Max-Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems[1] in Dresden, Germany. He is known for the theoretical proposition (with C. Castelnovo and S. L. Sondhi) of realizing Magnetic monopole within a condensed matter system known as Spin ice.[2]
