Research Interests:
Computational Research on Quantum Many-Body Systems
My research specializes in computational research on interacting quantum many-body systems, in particular quantum spin systems. This contains has two interrelated themes; (i) developing algorithms for simulations of complex model systems and (ii) using those methods to study collective phenomena such as quantum phase transitions.
