Ph.D. student & Research assistant

@ Georg-August-Universität Göttingen

I am a Ph.D. student in Heidrich-Meisner group at Institut für Theoretische Physik, Georg-August-Universität Göttingen. I am also a member of DFG Research Unit FOR 5522, which investigates nonequilibrium dynamics of closed quantum systems with ultra-cold atoms and state-of-the-art theory as a collaboration of researchers from Germany, Slovenia, and the USA. My research interests are numerical methods in quantum many-body physics, including exact diagonalization, the Lanczos algorithm, tensor networks, and neural quantum states.
