I’m a theoretical physicist in the Quantum Many Body Theory group at LMU Munich, lead by Fabian Grusdt. Soon, I’ll join the group of Nathan Goldman at ULB Brussels as a postdoctoral research fellow.
My research focuses on interacting topological phases of matter and the opportunities to study them using quantum simulators. In particular, I’m interested in fractional quantum Hall physics in lattice systems. In my work, I combine analytical approaches and numerical methods to understand such exotic states of matter. I am also developing analytical tools for low-dimensional quantum systems in collaboration with other members of our chair.
I did my PhD with Fabian Grusdt and his Quantum Many Body Theory group at LMU Munich. During this time, I also visited the group of Mohammad Hafezi at the Joint Quantum Institute (JQI) at the University of Maryland. I was also a member of the IMPRS-QST, a joint PhD program of the Max-Planck-Institute for Quantum Optics, LMU Munich, and TU Munich.
Before my PhD, I did my Master of Science in physics at LMU in the group of Matthias Punk, studying the Heisenberg-Kitaev model on a triangular lattice using field-theoretical renormalization group methods.
I also hold a BSc in mathematics from Göttingen University (2018, „Geometry of Orbifolds – Euler Characteristic and Gauss-Bonnet Theorem“ under the supervision of Thomas Schick) and a BSc in physics from LMU Munich (2016, „Aspects of Spacetime Geometry in Bosonic String Theory“ under the supervision of Stefan Groot-Nibbelink).
During my undergraduate studies in Munich I was a fellow of the Max Weber program by the Bavarian government.
