David Broadway is an experimentalist whose research interests include quantum sensing and optics, 2D electronics and magnetics, novel condensed mater systems, and other related fields. He obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Melbourne in 2020 on various applications of Nitrogen-vacancy centres in diamond ranging from NMR and hyperpolarisation to novel imaging detected to detect magnetic, electric, and strain fields. In 2020, he began a post-doctoral research position at the University of Basel Switzerland in the group of Patrick Maletinksy focused on cryogenic scanning nitrogen-vacancy magnetometry of 2D magnetic van der Waals materials. In 2023 he joined the team at RMIT as an ARC DECRA fellow and has continued his research into low-dimensional condensed matter systems.    

His roles at RMIT include teaching and research.
