Presentation Topic
Ab initio path integral Monte Carlo simulation of warm dense matter
Research Focus
Dr. Tobias Dornheim works on the development of new methodologies for the description of quantum many-body systems with a focus on matter at extreme densities, temperatures and pressures. His achievements include the development of a new path integral Monte Carlo approach to deal with the fermion sign problem and the introduction of a model-free framework for the interpretation of x-ray scattering experiments, which have been recognized, e.g., with the John Dawson Award by the American Physical Society and the Stanislaw Lem European Research Award by Wroclaw University of Science and Technology.
