Sarah A.M. Loos

Dr. Sarah A.M. Loos is a Research Fellow at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP) at the University of Cambridge and a Research Fellow at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge. She holds a PhD in Physics (summa cum laude) from TU Berlin (2020), with postdoctoral research at ICTP (Trieste) and Leipzig University. Her research focuses on stochastic thermodynamics, non-Markovian processes, and nonreciprocal systems. She has received major awards including the Royal Society of Chemistry Early Career Award (2024) and Marie Skłodowska Curie Fellowship (2023).

Education: PhD in Physics (2020, TU Berlin), Master's in Physics (2015, TU Berlin), Bachelor's in Physics (2012, TU Berlin). Research interests include entropy production in nonreciprocal systems, active matter, and control theory. She has organized workshops on adaptive dynamical systems and contributed to KITP programs on active solids.

Publications span topics like optimal control at microscale, PT symmetry in non-Hermitian systems, and nonreciprocal heat transfer. Her work bridges statistical physics and nonlinear dynamics, with applications in biological and nanoscale systems.
