  08.11.2024 – CECAM Flagship Workshop


I’m delighted to share that we had a fantastic and engaging CECAM Flagship Workshop in Lausanne: Beyond Ground State Simulations: Navigating Challenges in Excited States of Extended Molecules and Materials (November 5-8, 2024).

A heartfelt thank you to all participants for their active contributions! Through our four working groups, we discussed key challenges in describing charge transfer and long-range interactions, performing non-adiabatic molecular dynamics, and integrating machine learning. It was truly inspiring to see such collaborative effort in advancing our understanding of excited states in complex molecular and material systems.

Today I started my position as tenure track junior professor for the theory of electronically excited states at FAU Erlangen-Nuremberg! It has been an exciting journey through academia, starting with a PhD at the Friedrich Schiller University Jena and the Leibniz Institute for Photonic Technologies with Benjamin Dietzek-Ivansic, followed by a PostDoc period in Jena and as a Feodor Lynen Researcher of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation at the University of Luxembourg with Alexandre Tkatchenko, and now the creation of my own group.
I am super grateful for this fantastic opportunity to pursue my own research at the age of just 28! A big thank you goes out to all the people who have supported and encouraged me and with whom I have collaborated over the years! Without you, this would not have been possible!
