Conference Organization: "Correlations in novel quantum materials"
Materials with strongly correlated quantum particles are at the forefront of present solid state research. Understanding the experimental properties of novel quantum materials crucially relies on the application of cutting-edge analytical and numerical tools.
Together with Thomas Schäfer, I have organized a theory workshop in Stuttgart in 2021 and 2022 which aims at bringing together world-leading experts in both analytical and numerical theory to advance the current perspective on important questions of the field: What are the signatures of quantum order in newly synthesized experimental setups? Which aspects of quantum materials can be described on the model level? What are the computational and algorithmic boundaries hindering the solution of the many-body problem? What is the nature of phase transitions between these novel states of matter?

Outreach: "Emergence 2.0: Philosophy, Quantum Materials, and Artificial Intelligence"
The 2021 Nobel Prize in physics was awarded “for groundbreaking contributions to our understanding of complex systems”. But what are complex systems and what makes them special? “Emergence 2.0: Philosophy, Quantum Materials, and Artificial Intelligence”. The concept of emergence is central to the collective behavior of complex systems in a variety of research fields ranging from quantum materials and statistical physics to biological micro-organisms, machine learning, and, in its strongest form, even to the notion of consciousness. An interdisciplinary panel discussion on June 22nd, 2022 brought together experts from philosophy, quantum physics, and computer science to discuss the phenomena of complexity with the general public.
Outreach: Incommensuration in baroque music and quantum physics
My wife Taya and I are comitted to inspire the general public to discover the common beauties of music and science. We take our audience on an exciting journey through the unexpected relationship between baroque music and quantum physics.
