Philipp Rüßmann

Dr. Philipp Rüßmann is a visiting postdoc from JMU Würzburg, currently affiliated with the Quantum Theory of Materials (PGI-1) at the Peter Grünberg Institute (PGI) within the Jülich Research Centre. He is a theoretical physicist specializing in quantum mechanical simulation methods, leading the Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker Green Function group at PGI-1/IAS-1. His work focuses on the development and maintenance of the open-source JuKKR code family, integrated with the high-throughput AiiDA computing environment via the AiiDA-KKR plugin.

• Affiliation: Jülich Research Centre, Peter Grünberg Institute (PGI-1)
• Research Expertise: Ab Initio Electronic Structure Theory, Method Development, and Quantum Materials

His research spans:

• Ab Initio Electronic Structure Theory: Density Functional Theory (DFT), Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker Green Function methods, multiple scattering theory, and Bogoliubov de Gennes techniques for superconductivity.
• Method Development: High-throughput and high-performance computing, parallelization, performance optimization on supercomputers, open-source software, materials informatics, and machine learning applications.
• Quantum Materials: Topological insulators, Weyl and Dirac semimetals, quantum anomalous Hall insulators, magnetic interactions, surface/interface physics, defect/impurity studies, spintronics, spinorbitronics, and superconducting heterostructures for topological qubits.

The JuKKR code package and its AiiDA integration aim to advance autonomous quantum simulations for materials science. No scientific awards, student advisement, or grant information is explicitly mentioned in the provided text.
