Anael Ben-Asher

Anael Ben-Asher is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Faculty of Sciences, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM), affiliated with the Nanophotonics Group. His research focuses on polaritonics, non-hermitian quantum mechanics, and molecular physics. He holds a PhD in Chemistry from the Technion (2021) and has been recognized with prestigious fellowships: H2020-MSCA-COFUND-CIVIS3i (2022-2024) and ADAMS Academy (2018-2021).

His work bridges theoretical and computational approaches to explore quantum phenomena in cold molecular systems, resonance dynamics, and photon-matter interactions. Recent contributions include studies on non-hermitian anharmonicity in single-photon emission and laser-controlled resonance tunneling via exceptional points. His research also involves advanced methods like complex absorbing potentials and ab initio calculations for molecular interactions.

Ben-Asher's publications span topics such as metamaterials, quantum decoherence, and ultra-cold chemistry. He actively participates in collaborative projects like MIRAQLS (EU/Canada) and has presented at international seminars, including discussions on superconducting particle transport and quantum emitters in nanostructures.

His awards reflect sustained excellence in theoretical physics and nanophotonics, supported by interdisciplinary research at UAM's advanced facilities. Current projects aim to develop novel quantum optical devices and deepen understanding of non-hermitian systems' topological properties.
