CV

Riemann fellow

Institut für Analysis (and Riemann Center for Geometry and Physics), Leibniz-Universität Hannover

Investigating bounds for relative entropy and modular Hamiltonians in quantum field theory, in collaboration with Ko Sanders.

Research visitor

Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati (SISSA)

Extended the previously developed numerical scheme to approximate the modular Hamiltonian of quantum field theories with boundaries and defects, in collaboration with Erik Tonni.

Research assistant

Emmy Noether research group of Daniela Cadamuro, Institut für Theoretische Physik, Universität Leipzig

Established a numerical scheme and used analytic perturbation techniques to approximate modular Hamiltonians for (massive) quantum fields in setups where (exact) analytic solutions remain unknown. (go to the project page).
