Doctoral Candidates (DCs)

I began my studies at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, where I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Physics in 2020. During my undergraduate studies, I became especially interested in theoretical physics and mathematical methods, which was strengthened by my bachelor’s thesis on the path integral formalism and the derivation of Feynman diagrams in quantum field theory. I then continued with a Master’s degree in Physics at Heidelberg University, which I completed in 2023. I deepened my focus on theoretical and computational physics, especially quantum information and computation, as well as non-equilibrium dynamics in ultracold quantum gases. Apart from my academic work, I gained practical experience in science communication and teaching. Before starting my PhD, I worked at the Swiss Science Center Technorama, where I helped with workshops in physics and chemistry for a broad audience.

Now I am working in theoretical atomic physics, where my project focuses on developing theoretical methods for inner-shell photodetachment of atomic anions. The goal is to develop many-body methods to calculate cross-sections, describe resonances, and quantify their role and importance in order to interpret experimental results and contribute to the planning of new experimental campaigns. Within PANIONS, I am excited to contribute to a collaborative effort that combines advanced theory and experiment to improve our understanding of negative ions. I look forward to working in such an interdisciplinary network and to contributing theoretical understanding relevant to fundamental science and technological applications.
