2026

May 2026: Viktorie Volejníková has joined the group as a PhD student. Viktorie holds an MSc from FU Berlin. Welcome, Viktorie!
Mar 2026: Together with Benjamin Stamm (Universität Stuttgart), I organised the Modelling, Analysis and Simulation of Molecular Systems section at the 2026 GAMM Annual Meeting, held at the Universität Stuttgart from 16 to 20 March.

Nov 2025: Together with Gero Friesecke (TU Munich), I organised the 2025 Annual Meeting of the GAMM activity group Modelling, Analysis and Simulation of Molecular Systems, held at the TUM Institute for Advanced Study on 20 and 21 November.
Oct 2025: I'm very happy to have Alfred Kirsch join me as a post-doctoral researcher. Alfred has worked on the mathematical analysis of embedding methods such as Density Matrix Embedding Theory (DMET) and Dynamical Mean-Field Theory (DMFT) for interacting quantum systems. Here at TUM, Alfred and I will collaborate on electronic structure for crystalline materials. Welcome, Alfred!
Jan 2025: I've had the good fortune to win an Emmy Noether grant of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG). The grant has been awarded in support of a project I proposed titled Numerical Analysis of Electronic Structure Methods for Molecules and Materials. The project abstract can be found on the DFG website.

May 2024: I was a lecturer at the 6th edition of the GDR NBODY Mini-school on mathematics for theoretical chemistry and physics, held from 28 to 31 May at the Laboratoire Jacques-Louis Lions, Sorbonne Université, Paris.
Mar 2024: I had the pleasure of hosting a workshop on Many-body electronic structure calculations for solids at the Bernoulli Center, EPFL.
