About

I'm a theoretical quantum physicist (CNRS) researching and teaching at the Université de Strasbourg in France. I'm leading a research group, the Laboratory of Computational Quantum Many-body Theory (CQMT, https://www.cqmt.org). We are located at the Centre Européen de Sciences Quantiques (CESQ, https://www.cesq.eu) as part of the Institut de Science et d'Ingénierie Supramoléculaires (ISIS). I'm Scientific Advisor & Co-founder of QPerfect (https://www.qperfect.io) Career steps: - Habilitation (2019): Habilitation à diriger des recherches (HDR), Université de Strasbourg. - CNRS (2016): Tenured researcher position in Strasbourg. - Post-doc (2013-2016): JILA, Boulder, CO, US (group of A. M. Rey). - Visiting student/post-doc (2011-2013): University of Pittsburgh, PA, US (group of A. J. Daley). - Doctoral degree (2012): Dr. rer. nat, Universität Innsbruck, Austria. - Master degree (2008): Dipl.-Phys., Technische Universität München (TUM), Germany. My main research interest is the theory of quantum many-body physics. I'm interested in far-from-equilibrium dynamics in many-body models, which I study by utilizing numerical methods and quantum optics tools [e.g.: matrix product states (MPS)/tensor networks, truncated Wigner approximations (DTWA), quantum trajectories, ...]. Applications of my work are in the fields of (ultra-)cold atom physics and cavity-coupled molecules.
