Description

Tell us a little about yourself — your research interests, the group you work in, and how long you have been in your current position.
I’m a 3rd year PhD student in the Quantum Many-Body Theory group at LMU Munich, led by Fabian Grusdt. Our group’s research sits at the intersection of quantum simulation and quantum many-body physics, where we work on developing theoretical frameworks to describe strongly correlated many-body systems, e.g. high-Tc superconductors, together with proposing novel experimental approaches to explore their underlying physics.

What motivates you to apply as a PhD representative?
I am excited to join the MCQST PhD Board, because I think it offers a fantastic opportunity to work and engage with the broader MCQST community and really play an active role in shaping what makes Munich such a great place to study quantum science and technology. I’m particularly looking forward to connecting with my fellow PhD students, listening to their ideas about how we can continue to enhance the overall doctoral experience, and collaborating with the other Board members and MCQST Office to bring these ideas to life.

Tell us about your current research work and what excites you most about it.
One of my current projects focuses on understanding how exotic forms of magnetism can emerge in strongly correlated systems of ultracold bosons. What excites me most about this work is the prospect of testing out some of our new ideas in experiment, guided by the in-depth numerical and analytical studies that we have already carried out.
