Research Area
Condensed Matter Theory --- the study of coherence and correlations in many-particle systems.
Main research themes, present and past:

Some research topics (outdated)
Brief descriptions of selected research topics. Written around 2012/2013. This is obviously outdated but kept here for nostalgic reasons. Current spectrum of interests has some overlap with this old list, but the focus is more heavily on non-equilibrium physics. |
Took place in Bad Honnef, Germany (Nov. 30-Dec. 3, 2015)
made possible by generous funding from the
Wilhelm und Else Hereaus-Stiftung
.
Workshop website:
599th WEH-Seminar: Isolated Quantum Many-Body Systems out of
Equilibrium: from unitary time evolution to quantum kinetic equations
Co-organizers: Michael Bonitz (Kiel); Stefan Kehrein
(Goettingen).
This workshop brought together theorists addressing non-equilibrum quantum physics from two different perspectives: namely, the perspective of exact unitary dynamics, and that of quantum kinetic descriptions in the framework of the Boltzmann equation or its generalizations.
Workshop on Integrability and its Breaking
Took place in Montreal, Canada (July 13-17, 2015)
at the Centre de Recherches Mathématiques
(Université de Montréal)
Workshop website:
Beyond integrability: The mathematics and physics of integrability and
its breaking in low-dimensional strongly correlated quantum phenomena
Co-organizers: Jean-Sébastien Caux (Amsterdam); Robert Konik (Brookhaven).
Three-week meeting in August 2013.
Co-organizers: J-S Caux (Amsterdam); Tilman Esslinger (Zürich); Corinna Kollath (Geneva/Bonn).
Focus workshop, November 12-16, 2012.
Co-organizers: B. Andrei Bernevig (Princeton), Andreas Läuchli (Innsbruck)
Meeting organized in June 2010.
Co-organizers: Ian Affleck (UBC, Canada); Ulrich Schollwöck (LMU, Munich)
Two weeks, 100+ participants.
Employment trajectory
In summer 2021 I moved back to Dresden, to start work at the Technische Universitaet Dresden.
Until summer 2021, I was a faculty member at Maynooth University, in
Ireland, in the greater Dublin area.
When I joined in 2016, the Department was called the Department of
Mathematical Physics, for reasons unknown to me. Since then it has
been renamed and for some years was called
the Department
of Theoretical Physics.
From late 2006 to early 2016, I was a research scientist at the Max-Planck Institute for the Physics
of Complex Systems
(MPI-PKS) in Dresden, Germany.
I was associated with
the Condensed
Matter Department within MPI-PKS.
For part of my time at MPI-PKS Dresden, I held a ``Distinguished PKS postdoctoral fellow'' position;
one of
three such positions at the MPI-PKS.
Later, as a longer-term Staff Scientist I directed a team of researchers (of
varying sizes at various times), mostly focusing on the physics of
quantum systems out of equilibrium.
My first postdoctoral appointment (Nov 2003 -- Sep 2006) was in Utrecht university, the Netherlands, working with Henk Stoof's group, at the Institute for Theoretical Physics,
I did my Ph.D. at the Physics Department in Rutgers University, New Jersey. I was at Rutgers from Fall 1997 till September 2003. I worked with the Rutgers quantum condensed matter group and my PhD advisor was Andrei E Ruckenstein.
