Maxim is an established physicist with vast experience in low-temperature and condensed-matter physics, frequency measurement and control, low-noise and precision measurements, photonic and phononic low-loss systems, and paramagnetic and ferrimagnetic spin systems at low temperatures. His main research interest is in the application of ultra-high quality factor photons, phonons and magnons to engineered quantum systems and tests of fundamental physics. This includes Lorentz Invariance, Dark Matter and Quantum Gravity. He started working on translation and commercialisation projects such as hydrogen sensing for green economy, ultra-stable oscillators for 5G, chiral molecule sensing and sorting, and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation. In 2018, he won the European Frequency and Time Forum, Young Scientist Award and in 2019 he won the National Measurement Institute Prize, an annual award recognising outstanding achievement in measurement research and excellence in practical measurements by a young person in Australia. Maxim works at the Frequency and Quantum Metrology Lab at UWA. He was also a Chief Investigator in the ARC Centre of Excellence for Dark Matter Particle Physics. Maxim was a member of the Mentoring committee for both Centres.
