  • Profile

    I am Associate Professor in Condensed Matter Theory at the Institute for Theoretical Physics (ITFA), which is part of the Institute of Physics (IOP) at the University of Amsterdam (UvA) and the Delta Institute of Theoretical Physics (D-ITP). I am also a member of QuSoft and  the European Tensor Network.

    I am PI of an ERC Consolidator Grant project NexGenTeN. The research of my group is centered around the development and application of computational methods for the simulation of strongly correlated quantum many-body systems, with a particular focus on 2D tensor network algorithms. These methods can be seen as a 2D generalization of the well-known density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) method, which is the state-of-the-art method to simulate (quasi) 1-D systems. Recent applications of these methods include 2D fermionic systems (e.g. t-J and Hubbard models) related to high-Tc superconductivity, as well as frustrated spin systems (e.g. the Shastry-Sutherland model, SU(N) Heisenberg models, and more).
