Golam Haider leads the Twisted 2D Materials Group at the Institute for Metallic Materials. He holds a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Physics from the University of Calcutta, Kolkata, India, and earned his Ph.D. in Nanoscience and Technology from Academia Sinica, Taiwan, through the Taiwan International Graduate Program (TIGP).

Following his Ph.D., Dr. Haider completed a postdoctoral fellowship and secured a tenure-track position as a J. Heyrovský Young Scientist at the J. Heyrovský Institute of Physical Chemistry, part of the Czech Academy of Sciences. His current research delves into the opto-spintronic properties of artificial 2D crystals.

Dr. Haider is the recipient of numerous national and international scholarships, such as the TIGP Fellowship and the JSPS Hope Fellowship. In 2021, he was honored with the Otto Wichterle Award, which recognizes promising young scientists at the Czech Academy of Sciences for their significant contributions to scientific knowledge.
