Research Topics
- High-performance scientific computingDeveloping algorithms and efficient codes for solving complex physics problems in diverse areas exploiting state-of-the-art scientific computing resources.
- Quantum information and foundationsStudying non-equilibrium phenomena in many-body systems, ranging from ultra-cold atoms to strongly correlated electron materials, with a focus on understanding the nature of entanglement and correlations in their quantum states.
- Quantum matterWe are investigating how systems of many interacting particles correlate and entangle themselves quantum mechanically, both in and out of equilibrium. A major focus of this research is how electrons behave in novel quantum materials crucial for future technologies, but our work also crosscuts with atomic, molecular and optical physics; high energy physics; and quantum information science.
- Statistical, active, and soft matter physicsDeveloping theories for bulk phases and structure at interfaces for complex fluids such as colloids and knotted macromolecules by applying Monte Carlo methods and abstract topological concepts.
- Wave geometry and optical field theoryFocusing on the phenomena lurking between the domains of classical and quantum physics to expose the beautiful unifying mathematical ideas of asymptotics governing the behaviour of light, fluids and atoms.
