Self-introduction
I have a PhD in theoretical physics from Heidelberg University and have worked at the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics, Missouri University of Science and Technology and The University of Tokyo before coming to RIKEN.
I am interested in time-dependent problems in quantum mechanics, in particular strong field-molecule interaction. I am also interested in the simulation of quantum dynamics of molecules by quantum computers.
