Hi, I am a computational physicist with a background in quantum computing and condensed matter physics.
I earned a PhD in theoretical physics from the University of Cologne and deepened my research expertise for several years as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Toronto. I am now pursuing my interests in the quantum computing industry. You can meet me on LinkedIn or learn more about my work on Github or Google Scholar.
I am passionate about the development of elegant code that pushes the limits of modern computational science, drawing on my expertise in software development and high-performance computing. I firmly believe that scientific software should be sustainable and outlive its original scientific context of creation. Only then can it serve as a catalyst to accelerate research in a time where state-of-the-art computational algorithms can sometimes be intimidatingly complex to implement.
One showcase of my work is the SpinParser project [SciPost Phys. Codebases 5 (2022)] that enables researchers around the world to perform highly efficient functional renormalization group studies on quantum magnetism, with code written in modern C++ and capable of leveraging high-performance computing platforms with thousands of compute cores. I have also published a versatile Monte Carlo package in the Julia programming language, SpinMC.jl, that is tailored to advance research on classical frustrated magnetism and has lead to numerous publications in the field.
