We are a dynamic theory group that usually consists of a few PhD students and a few postdocs. In addition, we supervise occasional MSc students and host at least one summer intern each year.
Our goal is to better understand physics, which is best achieved through collaboration of people with different backgrounds. Some of us come from traditional AMO physics, some have hard condensed-matter background, some are numerics junkies and some are fond of analytic derivations. Some are fascinated by abstract mathematical structures and some prefer daily contact to experimentalists. We constantly discuss, brainstorm, and exchange ideas in order to find solutions that provide the deepest possible understanding of the underlying physics in a given problem.
